Have we agreed on a system for adjusting the rear brakes? Turn the star adjuster until wheel can't be turned by hand then back off (loosen) 8 clicks, 10 clicks, 15 clicks? Bentley offers nothing except to say when installing new brakes "Depress the pedal several times before driving so that rear brakes self adjust." OK. Then how about I depress the gas pedal several times to adjust the timing. My self adjusters don't work. And they never will. And believe me it has me AND the brake pedal sufficiantly depressed with little or no improvement to the braking. I checked the archives and found discussion on adjusting but didn't find any numbers as far as to specifically how how much to tighten then how much to loosen. Any info. appreciated.
