YOU CAN DO IT! Sometimes you need to inspect your brakes and adjust as needed. you can not just expect it to happen on its own. if I can do it, so can you!
Um... the reason you had some tension on yours... Is because it IS auto adjusting. If it's not, it needs repaired. Same mechanism as rear drum brakes on old cars.
@researcher4good Thanks. I did not have tension. I tested the brakes, pulled the e brake pin, and only one side worked. They should all lock up. Thats why I adjusted them. The mechanism only works to ratchet more tension if it is working properly.
@@The000buckshot , gotcha. They sell brake adjuster kits with all the parts: adjuster wheel, cable, plates and springs. I suggest taking the drum off and seeing if it's needed. It might just need a dab of grease on the wheel threads or the cable may not be in the right spot.
