Subject:      New User: '84 Westy Brake Adjuster Problem
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Howdy list members...my name is Mike and I just joined
the vanagon list (lucky you).  I live in Mesa,
AZ...and I just bought an 84 Vanagon Westfalia 1.9L
(nicknamed "Bad Larry"...so you guys and gals are
going to be getting a lot of questions from me...I
hope your ready  :o)
i also live in my van if that interests anyone...it's
very difficult right now due to the summer
temperatures surpassing the 110 degree mark...but it
should be a lot easier in a few weeks.  I might also
need some help boosting my refridgerator at some point
also...but anyways...so yeah...nice to meet you
all...hope to talk soon...

so...back to the point...first in line...brakes.  my
brake adjuster came loose last week and when i pulled
my drum, the two pieces of the adjuster were lying on
the bottom of it...all ground up of course.  So i
pulled another brake adjuster from some other
vanagon...and now i can't figure out how it goes in
there.  i would check the other brake...but i can't
get the lug nuts off...and i don't know if that would
be completely accurate anyway.  so...if someone could
just let me know what side of the brake adjuster goes
where and also the spring i believe connects to it.
thanks a million.

                                     Peace, Bad Larry
