Re: [T3] Brake adjustment


... or a nut with teeth.  You just turn the nut along the thread, only the
nut stays in one place and the thread moves to push the lining closer to
the drum.  I find thinking of it that way helps to work out which way to
turn it.
A small pry bar with a turned up end works a bit better than a straight
screwdriver.
If you get a chance to buy brass star wheels, that's what was fitted back
in the fifties, and there wasn't the problem of sticking in the housings
that comes with the steel ones.
