    Brake adjustment

    Will be working on our unit getting it ready for our spring trip to Texas and then on to Moab UT. For adjusting the brakes, which way do you turn the adjuster to expand the shoes?
    Thanks for any information that will make brake work easier.

    It's easy to get lost with this one.

    "Turning the wheel so that the teeth on the wheel move upward will expand the brake shoes against the inside of the brake drums. Moving the teeth downward will contract the brake shoes." (This quote from etrailer is correct).
    In other words, pull the outer end of the adjusting tool down, to tighten the brakes.

    Thanks. That's what I remembered from long ago but you know how old memories are.
