Brake adjustment.....

I can't remember if there is a way to adjust the front brakes on our trucks other than with the dial. I thought you could back up and apply the brakes...or is that only for the rear?


oopps!! I'm talking about the front brakes and they are drums.

Re: Brake adjustment.....

They should be self adjusting, Houp; assuming everything is in there & in working order.
