I have had the wheel assemblies apart several times and made repairs but I have never thought of adjusting until last week. I read my maintenance book and unless I an blacking out while reading, I do not see an adjusting statement. I see bleeding but no adjusting. Does anyone know how to adjust the brakes?:eek::eek:

There does not appear to be a way to adjust the drum brakes. There is also no way to individually adjust the parking brake cables as is done on full size automobiles. I have considered using VW Rabbit brake assemblies, but have no way to connect the brake cables.
