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? |

And I suspect if there's just a tiny bit of brake drag, it will soon be gone due to the wear that you spoke of. The goal is to get the brake shoes as close as possible to the drums and the same distance out on all the wheels.
