Re: [FWDLK] Brake System

[Mike Apfelbeck <moparmike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If it has brakes like my '57, there will be two hex -head adjusters on
the backing plate. They operate two cam-like adjusters that bear against
the rear of the shoes, pushing them out toward the drums.When you get
things apart you'll see what I mean. I have always used regular brake
fluid for flushing.The bleeder screws should close to the brake line
connections, unless they rusted solid and some previous owner has twisted
them off.
