T'other was a different story. After cleaning and backing out the adjustment screw as far as it would go,the hub was very; /html/spitfires/2001-07/msg00252.html (7,738 bytes)

Re: Tight brake hub (score: 1): Author: "Jeff McNeal" <jmcneal@ohms.com>; Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2001 15:30:47 -0700; My guess is that your brake adjuster on the tight side is binding, creating too much friction between your new pads and your drum. Even though you loosened it all you could, my guess is that it's lo; /html/spitfires/2001-07/msg00253.html (9,141 bytes)
3. Tight Brake Hub (score: 1): Author: "BILL McDEVITT" <wmmk1@informatics.net>; Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2001 20:30:21 -0500; Dave, One area has been overlooked thus far!! Trust me, I know. When the wear down, adjustment of the emergency brake cables is required to keep this unit in working order. When the shoes are replace; /html/spitfires/2001-07/msg00319.html (7,525 bytes)

Adjusting the adjuster screw should take care of both the regular brake and handbrake. The cables should need adjusting only to compensate for cable stretch and wear in t; /html/spitfires/2001-07/msg00321.html (7,824 bytes)
5. Re: Tight Brake Hub (score: 1): Author: Joe Curry <spitlist@gte.net>; Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2001 23:05:56 -0700; I beg to differ. The adjuster will compensate for shoe wear, but as the shoe wears down, the hand brake will need to be pulled up higher to make it grab. If the shoes are worn enough, it will become; /html/spitfires/2001-07/msg00330.html (7,964 bytes)

You adjust the handbrake by adjusting the brakes (it's easier anyway). _Only_ after that, would you consider a separate; /html/spitfires/2001-07/msg00335.html (8,362 bytes)
7. Re: Tight Brake Hub (score: 1): Author: Joe Curry <spitlist@gte.net>; Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2001 08:28:09 -0700; In an ideal world, I'd agree with that. But we're talking SPITFIRES here!!! I have in fact found it necessary to adjust the front cable to adjust where the handbrake grabs. BTW, on a VW Beetle this i; /html/spitfires/2001-07/msg00339.html (7,884 bytes)

B-) We're probably saying the same thing in different ways. To tie it back to the original question and response, the point is that you have to make sure the re; /html/spitfires/2001-07/msg00343.html (7,914 bytes)
