dexter self-adjusting brakes - starwheel
Ever since I had all 4 drums removed and turned, I get smooth non-chattering stops. I suppose because the TT sat in the driveway during the pandemic, that upon jacking up and spinning the tires, I found one that was making a weird metal on metal sound. So I took it apart.
It wasn't moving freely like it should, so I lubed the contact points, which fixed it. However, I could not get the drum back on over the brake shoes. Lifting the little ratchet arm and turning the rear of the starwheel down, only made the matter worse and worse. Huh?
IT TURNS OUT THAT THE LEFT SIDE STARWHEEL ROTATION IS OPPOSITE THAT OF THE RIGHT SIDE!!
Took me an hour to figure that out in the boiling stroke-inducing Florida sun.
