ADJUSTING THE MET BRAKES:
FRONT WHEELS:
The front brakes have two (2) eccentrics located on the backing plate
assembly.
Fully release both eccentrics on the outside of the backing plate by turning
them counter-clockwise.
Turn one (1) of the adjusters clockwise until the brake shoes just touch the
brake drum.
Release the adjuster until the shoe is just free of the drum. Repeat this
process for the second adjuster.
Spin the wheel to assure that the shoes are free from the drum.
REAR WHEELS:
With the hand brake fully released, turn the square end of the
adjuster on the outside of each rear backing plate in a clockwise direction
until a brake drag is felt.
Then loosen two (2) notches at which time the drum should spin freely.
(Always safety the jack with jack stand/s)
PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT:
Normal brake adjustments should be made at the brake shoe adjusters
and not by the alteration of the parking brake cable. The parking brake
adjustment is made on the cable connector where it is attached to the hand brake
lever.
With the lever in the fully released position, remove inspection plate on side
sill and disconnect the connector from the hand brake lever.
Push back the rubber insulator on the cable and loosen lock nut. Rotate the
connector and adjustment nut in a clockwise direction until cable slack is
removed.
Reinstall and check operation.
BRAKE PEDAL FREE PLAY:
You should have 1/8” free play in your brake pedal. Raise and support
the car in a safe manner. Make sure the parking brake is in the full release
position.
Adjust the length of the master cylinder push rod. (Note)
Do Not make this adjustment unless you are very familiar with the Met Braking
System. Unless this is adjusted properly, you may find your brakes are locked up
i.e.: the brake fluid will not return to the master cylinder when the brake
pedal is released.
