brake adjuster assembly

does any one know which way round the brake adjusters go on a series three 109 rear brake. they come in 5 parts but i have no instructions. i cant seem to work out how to shrink the size of a picture to show you, if any one has the time i could email them a picture to help clarify. thanks adam

I would have thought that the cam should be arranged that a Clockwise turn pushes the shoes out.
But you should be able to look at the other wheels to get the assembly order.

I understand the rotation of the snail cam, but the new ones are
different to the origionals. i cant understand the order in witch the mount and which parts go witch side of the drum plate. this link shows the new ones and the parts they come in, any help would be realy appreciated.

HI Adam
i worked on mine a while ago, adjuster bolt goes through backplate, put a washer on first, both washers look similar size if so i would go for the galvanised/stainless looking one on outside as more durable.
on the inside of the back plate put other washer on bolt, then the spring seat over the bolt with recess upwards, the spring should now locate on seat, the snail cam should now fit on end of bolt it should locate on it perhaps with two flats on bolt/cam hole. the cam is retained by small bolt, its likely the spring will need compressing before cam engages on flats (tightening the samll bolt will pull it in but need to be aligned properly).

you can practice layout first before fitting
just remember once fitted do not overtighten the aduster nuts as this can strip the flats off the bolt, then cam just turns on shaft making adjustment impossible

thanks for the advice, im not 100% sure tho, could i email you a picture of how i interpret your instructions to imply please? Thanks very much my email address is life [email protected] (the spaces are underscores i.e. _)
