When you assemble the rear drum parts, the adjuster lever will give you an idea of which way to place the start wheel adjuster.
If you still cant figure it out, just try to find a diagram online 🙂
i was looking at the self adjusting mechanism. just couldn’t figger out the adjuster hit the toothed wheel.. like which edge…seems like somewhere outthere, this info exists. i’ve looked through a few manuals & googled a few honda forums…
thx 4 the suggestion though. i’m going to go to Pick N Pull 2morrow & check out the old hondas… as well, its just fun to wander through all the old cars… some i used to one…. pretty sweet way to blow an afternoon
If you post a picture of your brake assembly, I will bet you that you will instantly get the correct answer from one of many of the bright guys on this forum.
If memory serves the adjuster pushes down on the adjuster, that said the standard thread should go on the left side I believe and the right hand thread should go on the right.
ok, i got it figured out…thx 2 a trip to PikNPull…
so if u stick your head in the rear wheel well on the front side… &
look @ the adjusters. if the adjuster was a saw blade, it would cut by
turning clockwise on the passenger side & counter-clockwise on the driver’s side.also, the top big brake spring is different for each side. if u mix them up,
the self-adjusters don’t work. the bar on the spring is towards the top, out of
the way of the adjuster… here’s a pic of the driver’s side…thx2 every1 for replying…
ps: wrenching is liking up any trade… a never-ending supply of screwups to remember.
i enjoy it…same goes electrician stuff, plumbing, tiling… same dealok, i got it figured out…thx 2 a trip to PikNPull…
