Brake adjusting

[Mikemc]

Drivingour M38A1 home after Memorial Day Car show(won judges choice award) brake pedal seems lower than normal. Pedal is firm, just low. Going to start looking in manual but to me seems like brakes need adjusting. No fluid leaks(master cylinder or lines or wheel cylinders visible. Really think that if leak pedal would be spongy. Any tricks or tips on adjusting the brakes. Thx Mike

1 - Determine which brakes you have. (Many have been upgraded to 10")

2 - If the brakes are stock look up "Adjustment" in TM 9-8014 page 276 PAR 233 A & B. Follow the published procedure completely.

Make sure you know what type brake fluid is 9in your master cylinder. Type DOT 3 & 4 are interchangeable. DOT 5 is not.

Would post pictures but not sure how. Mike
