Re: IML: Brake Adjustment

[dennis sullivan <captden29@xxxxxxxxx>]

joe, that tool is hard to come by. i have done many
brake jobs on these cars and have never used it
although i do wish i had one. get the shoes arced to
the drums and then your standard brake adjust using
the cams will be adequate.  dennis
