breaking new shoes / drums
« on: July 29, 2019, 15:42:21 »
hello
i had the rear brake drums and shoes re lined on my 66' 230.

are there any tips on breaking them in?

The wheel adjusters are all the way in and the wheel can turned by hand but not so freely the wheel will continue to spin on its own.

thanks in advance

Sounds like your ready for the road. No special break-in needed.
