I wish I wasn't such a dork about drum brakes but I am.
I skipped doing (more like forgot/didn't think to do) proper adjusting of the drum brakes when I had the axle shafts pulled and the wheels/tire off.
I moved the motorhome from the paved driveway to the grassy area next to it today to give the driveway back to my mom, and the braking was REALLY poor. (very low pedal due to the drums being so badly adjusted).
Am I gonna have to suck it up and just remove the wheels and axle shafts again to adjust the drums properly, or can I best guess them by just jacking it up on one side at a time (only have one jack stand) and turning it the partial turn back and forth as much as you can with the axle shaft installed?
Yeah it's not THAT much more to remove the wheels an shafts I guess, but I find it dreadful and time consuming doing it all by myself with only one jack stand. I just effing hate messing with drum brakes all the way around.
It has new self adjustors but dunno how well they actually work. In theory they should just adjust it automatically with normal braking.
