Sorry for not searching this first. but I am headed to the driveway to replace all 4 sets of brake shoes on my 76 eleganza II. A leaking cylinder in one has prompted the work, and the wheels are off anyway for the new tires.
The manual says tighten adjusters until there is drag then back off 30 clicks. This seems like a lot, I was thinking more like just until there is no or very slight drag. Any small amount of drag would get worn off in the first few miles. BUT drum brake adjustment is a new thing for me, so please contribute to my education. Will check back later, should be a few hours to do all 4 wheels.
TIA
Randy
