How to adjust brakes?

Veteran Posts: 123 Location: Southern Idaho, USA Hey guys, I'd like to know how to go about adjusting the brakes on my 58 Belvedere. I need to back them off as they are halfway locked up. Where is the adjustment fastener located, do I need to take off the brake shoe? And when adjusting, is it the old rule of left=loose, right=tight? Thanks guys.

You can crack open the bleeder for a second as a test to see if there's any pressure on the system. wizard Posted 2019-02-17 7:36 AM (#578319 - in reply to #578317) Subject: Re: How to adjust brakes?
