Default Re: 1990 Gas Club Car-Brake Adjustment

Ummmm... CC didn't start to use self-adjusting brakes until 1996!
but, the cleaning and lubing is useful info!

Jim,
On the back of your brake hub, at the 12:00 position there will be a rubber boot sticking out,
Pull the boot off with your fingers, and you'll see a "torx" type bolt head,
you'll need a torx "socket" (or something like that) to fit it,

With the cart on jacks, rotate the drum while "clicking" (turning) the torx bolt,
until you have some resistance from the shoes touching the drum,
then, turn it back a click or two so the brakes don't rub, and reinstall the rubber boot.

Then, if you still have to much pedal travel, that's adjusted at the rod, two nuts, and spring
that are located just under the brake pedal assembly (under the carts floorboard)!
Note: after adjustment, you should have about 1/2" to 3/4" pedal travel before the brakes engage!

Hope this helps!
