I put new shoes on 91 Club Car, adjusted as
much as possible but the shoes don’t contact
the drum. When I activate the brake lever at the
bottom of the drum only the rear shoe expands
but not enough to contact drum. The front shoe
remains stationary. How is it supposed to work? • Remove rubber dust cover.
This cart belongs to a friend and he said he
hasn’t had brakes for a few months. Never
parks on a hill and never follows to close. I
looked at the shoes and they were almost to
the metal so I put some new shoes on. Still
won’t stop. I adjusted the upper adjuster all
the way in (towards backing plate) and never
got the shoes to contact the drum. I adjusted
the cable equalizer to make sure there was
enough slack to completely release the lower
lever the cable is attached to but made sure
it still fully activated the lever for maximum
shoe expansion. When I fully engage the lower
lever the shoe towards the rear of the wheel
moves but only about 1/8” the front show
doesn’t move at all. It seems something is not
right in that lower shoe expansion set up but it
doesn’t appear to be broken. • Turn adjustment bold counterclockwise
approximately 5 clicks or until wheel turns
freely. Replace rubber dust cover.
•
Turn the adjustment bolt clockwise until
the wheel does not rotate freely. Use 7mm
open end wrench or 8 pt. Socket or brake
adjustment tool. Club Car part #1013582
• Repeat procedure for the other wheel.
• Adjust brake cable for proper pedal free
play.
• If brakes drag or are difficult to adjust,
refer to Cleaning Brake Mechanisms
Brake Shoe Adjustment:
• Do not adjust pedal play at the brake cable
equalizer until adjustment has been made
at each wheel.
• Raise rear of car and support drive unit
with jack-stands.
• Loosen jam nuts on brake equalizer rod to
provide slack in brake cables and allow
