Glen, I'm no pro and I'm sure you will hear from the seasoned mechanics within the forum....But to get you going here's a link to an older forum discussion I found helpful in understanding the basics. http://www.earlyfordv8.org/forum/printthread.cfm?Forum=18&Topic=1326 And also a Youtube video from a 1931 adjustment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMizfaKHXVQ

I'm about to setup my 35 coupe after skimming drums and relining. Looked at the Model A youtube video - can anyone tell me why he set the front brakes to come on after the rears?

I though I had replied to this. Guess not. The answer to brake adjustment is in the 1936 Reference Book. Most call it the owner's manual. Here is the pages.

Is the process in the attached document for 1936 brakes the same for the 1937 with mechanical brakes? Also, I've seen the 31 Ford Youtube video - is that the same as 37 as well?
