Re: [Amc-list] Yay Napa! (I think!) - Fingers crossed for brake fun this weekend!

Bruce,

Do you have a TSM for it yet? If so, the brake section is pretty good. 
The two biggest mistakes people make are swapping the leading and 
trailing show and putting the self adjusters together wrong. The front 
and rear brakes are assembled the same (the only difference is the strut 
and lever for the parking brake) so you can use the front as a guide.
