As for my own experience:
I need to write for about two days to explain it all, but it went back together nicely. Here are the major points that every Brenderup owner should keep in mind:
- Parking brake lever is an indicator of brake pad wear. You should hear two clicks (and only two clicks) when the brake is applied. If you hear a third click the brake cable should be adjusted. This is NOT a dangerous situation, but an indicator of normal wear.
- The above adjustment does not mean that your brakes are OK. It is only an indicator that wear has taken place. The brake shoes can be checked visually, requiring NO tools and no disassembly! :)
- Most mechanics are clueless and afraid of anything not stamped Made in USA. This system is NOT complicated and requires NO special tools that a mechanic would not have. Except maybe a torque wrench that goes to 214 ft-lbs. (Available at any auto parts store: $60.00) .
- The instructions are posted HERE. < Operation Guide
- Upon completion of repair take a test drive (with a jack and a screwderiver!) After one mile check each hub cap for excessive heat. Caution: Excessive = BLISTERS your finger) If a cap is hot that wheel brake adjuster star nut needs to be backed off 5 clicks.
- Drive several miles and check again. If there is still a cap with excessive heat I suggest raising the wheel off the ground and rotating in to listen for rubs or dragging. This was the case with ours. I adjusted the star nut 5 turns further counterclockwise.
More conversation and suggestions to follow. Happy Trails!
