Back adjusters

Question about back brakes
You tighten the adjust screw all the way until the wheel cant be turnded but my question is how far do i go back ?
And is this the same when youve changed the shoes ? I know theres a bed in-peroid but i dont want to have them set wrong

Yep your right there, adjust all the way in then dependent on shoe/drum condition about a 1/4 turn back off, the wheel should spin freely but may grab/bind slightly at certain points on rotation. The key is to get the rotation and spin the same on both side to prevent one wheel grabbing before the other thus giving you uneven braking. Make sure the handbrake is adjusted properly as well.

The end of the adjuster is square so it works in quarter turns, personally I tighten untill the wheel is tight then back off a quarter turn, If thwheel is still too tight go back another quarter

Then readjust periodically as the shoes bed in and become worn.
