Brake Slack Adjusters and Cam
DANGER
Before checking the slack adjusters, set
the parking brakes, place the transmission
in neutral and block the wheels. Failure
to do so can result in unexpected vehicle
movement and can cause serious personal
injury or death.
To check the slack adjusters for proper throw,
use a breaker bar to lever the slack adjuster
out. Measure the distance of the travel. It
should not exceed 1 to 1 1/4 in. (25 to 30
mm) for a 6 in. slack adjuster and should not
exceed 3/4 to 1 in. (20 to 25 mm)
for a 5 1/2 in. slack adjuster. Also make sure
that the length of the slack adjuster is the
same on an axle.
Note: Travel is measured from the chamber
face. See 1 in illustration.
