The key word here is 'adjusted'. I'm sure there's a 'correct' procedure
that I don't know, but if nothing else, measure the clearance between the MC
and booster after you've loosened the nuts enough to release the brakes.
Shorten the pushrod by that much plus about another .030". Or, you could
count how many flats you loosen the nuts then that divide by 6 times the
thread pitch of the studs and add .030".
