[A/S] Re: Brake adjustment
I also adjust my own with the "brake spoon" that you can buy at any
auto parts store.
After properly jacking up the trailer, click the adjuster while
regularly checking/rotating the wheel until the wheel locks up. Then
click the adjuster the opposite way until the wheel turns freely with
no sound or feel of anything inside dragging. That's usually about
12 -15 clicks.
After that you will need to recalibrate your brake controller. I
greatly improved my stopping distance after doing the work described
above.
