I took mine in a compared them with the one's the guy gave me.
Anyway, any tips on making sure the adjuster mech works right? I've chucked it all back together, dont think i'd got the adjuster right though, got lots of pedal travel and looking in the haynes i might have the 'adjuster spring components' fitted upsidedown. Im assuming this matters a fair deal. |

yes it does.
Did you take the adjuster out then make sure the wheel was free to go up and down the threaded bit?
I normally manually adjust it at first, just so the drum just clears, the self adjuster seems happier to make small adjustments because you don't need to pump it a million times to get the wheel round enough times. |
