My rear axle seals, bearings etc. are done. New brake shoes are on. I am having some trouble with the brake rods. I have John(UK)'s information and he says the center brake shaft should be "One spline back from vertical." For the life of me I can't figure that one out. As it is one of the rods needs to be short and the other rod needs to be long to fit between the main brake shaft, when the main pedal is in the up position, and the brake stop, when the cam is against the brake rod. The fiddle brake was frozen so I had to press it to get it apart. The bushing is all but gone and now the brake stop shaft is loose. Should there be any friction at the brake stop shaft to help the brake rod move when the fiddle brake is pressed and what was John(UK) referring to?
Thank you in advance
