If the equaliser is perpendicular to the brake rod, the brake clearance is the same on each
wheel.
If the equaliser is oblique to the brake rod, adjust the brake rod.
7. Pull the parking brake lightly on and compare the braking force on the wheels.
If the braking force on the wheels is not equal, re-adjust brake system.
8. Replace the plug in the inspection hole.
A light rubbing sound when the wheels turn is permissible if it does not affect free turning.
