Question Rear Brake Adjustment

More Questions,

Which way do you guys turn the adjuster's on the rear brakes to tighten them up?[confused]

To get more precisise,when under the truck,facing the backing plate,do you spin the adjuster up...or down?

Or,do they use the same adjuster...making you turn one up and one down?

Thanks guys,
Vinny

You want to pull down on your pry bar or screwdriver. It's the same on both sides. You shouldn't be able to turn the adjuster the wrong way without sticking something in to release the adjuster pawl.
