I am trying to determine if the adjusting screws for Bendix type brakes are right and left or are they the same. All adjustment information I can find says to tighten the brakes by raising the adjustment tool toward the axle. I can not find any referance that says you do the opposite for the other side. To me that says there is a left and right screw. If there is a left and right threaded screw then lifting the tool for either side makes sense. What is it? Is the adjusting screw a left hand thread for one side and a right hand thread for the other side? I only see one part number. Thanks John

John, Each star adjuster has both a left and a right hand thread. It adjusts the same way for any wheel. Alan

I have installed the Lincoln Brakes, front and back and installed a dual master cylinder. I am having a low pedal and wondering if the current stock wheel cylinders are correct for a dual circuit master cylinder. I was warned I may have problems with this conversion. Does anybody have any insights in this matter. Thanks. Marty

Check to see if you have the 10 psi residual pressure valves in both the front and the rear system of the drum brakes. With no residual pressure valves, there is no fluid under pressure trapped between the master cylinder and the wheel cylinders, and you will have to use a portion of the pedal stroke to build up the initial pressure.

Bill, Thanks for the reply. I have built in residual valves in the master cylinder. Marty
