shown in figure 24.
3. To adjust clearance, turn nut (D) clockwise to
decrease the gap or turn nut counterclockwise to
increase the gap.
4. Set the parking brake. Loosen or tighten adjustment
nut (E) to achieve a 2 9/16"–2 5/8" compressed
spring length as shown in figure 24.

1. Release the parking brake.
2. Place a .025" feeler gauge (A, figure 25) between the
two outer brake stators (refer to inset illustration).

a. Remove cotter pin from castellated nut if present.
b. To decrease gap, hold feeler gauge in gap and
turn nut (B) clockwise until resistance is felt on the
feeler gauge. To increase gap, turn nut (B)
counter-clockwise and recheck gap.
c. If cotter pin was removed, back off nut (counter-
clockwise) until the nearest slot is aligned with hole
in threads. Replace cotter pin.
