Pontiac Brake Adjusting Lever Removed

Pontiac Drum Brake Drag Reduction - Low-Drag Brakes = Lower E.T.

To remove the adjusting lever, release the reddish-colored spring between it and the left shoe as shown in the lead photo. Then take off the orange retaining spring and pin assembly that holds the shoe to the backing plate. Pull the actuating link out slightly and rotate the adjusting lever out of the link. Upon turning the lever over, you'll see that the portion normally visible from the front doesn't contact the star wheel; rather a notch on the rear (shown here) actually makes contact and rotates the star wheel when the linings become worn.
