The brake auto-adjust can be tuned with the 710 dial, under the hood.

And if I may continue your thought.............

After adjustment of the 710 dial, remember to re-torque the henway lock down hasp.

I assume you're talking about the rear, drum brakes. You are backing up too much.

They can be adjusted, but I'm not going to waste me time trying to tell you how.

Look on the net for help.

I think the comment isn't quite as dumb as the question.

"What a dumb comment." As opposed to comment #1?

And what's a henway?
