You mean the counterclockwise threaded screw in the star shaped nut inside the drum?

No the 1983 has a bolt on the back side of the wheel to adjust the brakes

Re: 83 ezgo brakes
Not sure about a 1983 but newer carts have a very specific step by step adjustment procedure for adjusting cables,pedal clearance ,shoes,ect. If adjusting brakes shoes only could be compensating for bad self adjusters or cable adjustment.
Again not sure on older carts, just wanted to throw throw that out there in case😊 |

What I do remember was that it was no problem to back it off if I went too far, so turn it and see what happens. If you get it too tight, just back it off. If you turn it the wrong way and loosen it, you will realize it as soon as you try to stop it. The newer carts are self adjusting, but I liked the old style better where I could adjust it myself and get them exactly where I wanted them. Experiment with it and you will quickly figure it out. Good luck with it. |
