Drum Brake Adjuster Question
Ok-I feel really stupid but in rushing around helping my son work on his rear 1997 F250 drum brakes I thought I would save some time and do both sides at the same time. Usually I do one side at a time so I can go over and look if I am not sure about something.
In doing so I can't remember which side each of the adjusters go on. One has a left hand thread and the other has a right hand thread.
Does anyone know the answer?
Thanks.
Rob

"Behavioral" approach - Put one on. There's a little lever that hits the wheel that allows it to "naturally" ratchet in only one direction. If that pushes OUT on the shoes, that's correct. If not, then put the other one on.
