Special
Tip. If parts which move a little on the plate
are seen as at B, fig. 1, lightly grease them before
adjusting brakes.
Should these parts stick one brake
shoe may tend to rub the drum after brakes released.
High melting-point grease only must be used. Ordinary
grease or oil can run into drum and ruin brakes.
Some
suitable grease: Shell Retinas A; Regent Marfac Multipurpose
