Brake adjuster replacement

Brake adjuster replacement

The adjuster is a small cylinder containing the brake fluid, whose extreme surfaces move under the pressure resulting from pressing the brake pedal. The adjuster pushes the shoes against the drum. Brake fluid leaking out of the adjuster will cause the pressure in the system to fall, resulting in the fluid leaking over the friction lining. The cylinder fails with time or may be damaged as a result of improper fitting of the brake shoes.

Tips

  • The adjuster should always be replaced with a new one
  • The cylinder should be checked for leaks each time the drum brake elements are replaced
