Re: Ausco cable disc brake install thread
Cable attachment. The brake cable adjustment will need to be loosened.
Again my northern and southeastern friends tell me the double nut and threaded rod assembly rusts and makes adjustment difficult.... They suggest removing the assembly and cleaning the rust off of it. Here in the SW we use this time to get another cold drink. It's hotter than blazes in August here.
Use 2 wrenches (1/2" and 5/8") to loosen the lock nut on the end of the adjustment rod at the brake cable equalizer.
Pull this assembly downward enough to get a ratchet and deep well 1/2 socket or better a small impact driver on it.
I use three size battery impact drivers for my work, they really make the work easier & speed things up.
Put the cable sleeve into the new silver cable holder and reinstall the C clip you kept from the original brakes. Pull enough additional length of cable (by way of loosening the adjustment) to line up the cable end holes and the actuator arm hole. Insert the clevis pin and insert the cotter pin (both saved from original brakes)
