Is there an adjustment on the brakes on these? I changed the master and slave on one, but don't remember there being any external adjustment. One's parking brake pretty much quit working and we want it to be able to stop before selling them.
Thanks

Yes, there is an adjustment. Adjustment nut is on top of lever actuated by the slave cyl. 3/4" end wrench should get it.

It worked, I'd have probably never found it without knowing to look. Screwed it down nearly 1/4 inch. Takes both feet on the pedal to stop it, but pull the park brake and she stops again.

Should stop much better than that. Discs get glazed, maybe wore completely out.

Pull the hand brake til I feel it make contact, stops pretty good.
Foot brake, hard pedal, thinks about stopping. It has a new slave cylinder, I think I replaced the master at the same time.

Boss thinks bleeding it may help, but I had the bleeder open with a stream of oil coming out. And the pedal is hard, not soft.
