martin53 Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 I was putting brake cylinders in and can't get the hub back on. Is there a trick to doing this. There is arrows on the top and bottom bolts where are they supposed to point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithb7 Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) On the front wheel you can start with the arrow on each anchor mounting bolt point toward each respective cylinder. On the rear brakes, the two arrows are to point toward each other. This will place the shoes closest together and allow the drum the be reinstalled. However, several adjustments are to be made. There is a special tool that not many of us own. It greatly aides brake shoe alignment. The rest of us do the best with multiple adjustments and feel. If you do a quick search you may find a lot of information on this site about proper brake adjustments.
