Technical Mounting Rear brake adjusters

Hi Folks
don't know if anyone posted this before but i thought I'd share some hints how to mount those "gear to mount" lower adjusters.
By hand it's not fun doing it and I've tried several times till i figured this out.

First mount the asymmetric washer into shoe


Next wiggle in special bolt

now thats kinda easy without the connection plate in front of it

the trick is to fix the shoe now by clamping it


take out special bolt, shoe still clamped


position connection plate and put special bolt back in


put nut on special bolt on rearside of backing plate
take off clamp


now was that easy?
make sure the special bolt fits easily but snug into asymmetric washer. wasn't the case on mine (repop and original washer with original bolt)

you can do both bolts like that.

don't know if this was needless but would have helped me

 

Thanks for that neat trick, very timely as I'll be wrestling with mine this morning.

 

I just put the washers on the bolt first, then the plate and insert them both at the same time. While holding the bolts in place with one hand, start the nuts and hand tighten.
