New Zealand Datsun Club

I just changed the pads in the rear drums on my 1600 and was wondering how far to wind the threads on the top of the back of the drum do you wind it to where it was before changing them or is there a certain point ?

with the handbrake cable backed off fully, you wind the adjusters to push the shoes out towards the drum until you get a 'scuffing' sound, so the drums still turn but with slight resistance. then adjust the handbrake cable until you get the desired handbrake leverage, between 4-8 clicks i think.

nah man, you want one click on the hand brake for some sweet E-brake drifts

cheers man sorted it today handbrake works mint but havent tested the rest cos i dont want to loose all the fluid cos because the front isnt hooked up but should be good
