Wheel bearing and brake adjustment
There was no information in my 1995 23FLL user manual for making these adjustments so I followed what I did on my 60s vintage automobiles.
Brakes:
1.) Adjust star sprocket out until wheel doesn't move.
2.) Back off/in star sprocket just until wheel reaches freest spin.
However I've read that you should leave some brake drag. This seems like unnecessary brake shoe wear?
Wheel bearings:
1.) Tighten spinal/castle nut until drag is felt.
2.) Back off/loosen nut just until wheel reaches freest spin.
3.) Back off/loosen nut just enough more to allow cotter pin in hole.
Any specific HiLo or more modern adjustment feedback for these procedures?
