2.4. Measure the gap between the stop on the brake
link and the ferrule that connects it to the brake
arm. See Figure 2.4.
NOTE: The gap between the stop and the fer-
rule should be between .160”-.190”. The adjust-
ment is made at the front of each brake link. The
threads at the front of the brake link are 3/8-24.
One full rotation (360 degrees) of the ferrule will
result in .042” travel.
2.5. Divide the amount that the brake is out of adjust-
ment by .042” to determe the number of turns to
make in the adjustment ferrule.
NOTE: Measurement may be made with
stacked blades on a feeler gauge. See
Figure 2.5.
