hey

how do you adjust pads in the front drums??
i adjusted the rears using the 'screw/bolt' thing...but it seems to be a bit differnent set up on the front???

my mini pulls to the left while braking cant really notice it when driving around at norm speeds but when going slow it pulls quiet hard!


Cheers

there are two adjusters on each wheel. they are 8mm i think, so you need an 8mm spanner.

1. jack side up
2. loosen two square adjusters (opposite direction of rotation)
3. spin wheel and slowly tighten each adjuster (with direction of rotation)

stop when wheels are a little difficult to turn by hand
you should then bleed the system
