I have a 62 Chevy 3/4 ton 4x4, I have to adjust the brakes out about every other month. The brakes shoes can't be wearing down this fast, not in alot of mud or sand. Must be the slack adjusters backing off. No auto adjusters on this model. How can I keep the adjusters from backing off? Thanks Johnnir
Come on guys, no body has any idea on how to keep the star adjusters from backing off. Are mine bad, do I need to change them out? Help!:-(
Jeez, I hate to hear someone beg... first, something to read to let you know you are not the only one- http://www.chevytalk.org/forums/Forum43/HTML/001107.html next, my .02 inspect your adjusters, if the stars are worn, replace it. if the threads are stripped replace it. The threads should be clean and the piece that slides on the star end (that receives the brake shoe edge) should have some lube. (I use never-seize):7
