| Just inherited an HD 11E. Been sitting a while but fired right up. Having an awful time on adjusting the brakes. I've got the brake cover plate off but now not sure what to do. I see the 1 bolt ( brake adjustment bolt?) that floats around a little but appears to not turn. ( ceased?) I guess my question is where to begin? How much grease should I pump into the brake zerks, etc..? Any brake adjustment knowledge is appreciated. |

| They are at least relatively easy to remove the adjusters as on my 7G to free them up with the large covers open. |
