Automatic Brake Tightening/ Why Does It Over-tighten And Continue To 'lock Up'??
Overtightening of the brake adjuster has caused the axle seal to melt and allow axle fluid into the brake drum. New brakes, hardware kit, wheel cylinder, brake shoes, as well as new axle seal are all installed and still the brakes overtighten!! ONly R-side does this, while left side was also rebuilt, but has no problem.
