[QUOTE="Pool Contractor, post: 93391, member: 12762"] Finally got around to the brake adjustment. I followed Jerry's advice on a previous posting by another member on the procedure. I also used my operators manual that came with the machine. I managed to make the adjustment and it works fine. There is very little room work and at 6' 3" it's even tougher. The spring location on the left side is poorly located-too close to fuel tank. The other side I had to fight the hydraulic hoses. Installing the cotter pins was a PIA and "finding" the spline on the lever proved tough. OK, I'll stop my crying. I'm sure I saved a bundle doing it myself rather than taking it to the dealer. I recommend removing the spring adjuster bolt and putting a blob of grease on the threads. Spray the hinge points with lube-WD40-whatever you have. All good now. No need for rocks or wood blocks to prevent rolling. [/QUOTE]
