What's the easiest way to remember which way to adjust the stars on the drums?
Always forget,
Thanks!

Re: Adjusting Drums
Treat it like a bolt, and screw it into the center block.
I can't remember the other one :)

Re: Adjusting Drums
The shoe/yoke is the immovable bolt. You simply spin the nut counterclockwise (as it faces the bolt) to push the shoe out.
Experiment with a spare nut bolt until you have an intuitive grasp. Just remember that the bolt can't rotate and the nut's location is determined by the anchor.

Re: Adjusting Drums
facing the brakes/drum from the outside of the left or right side of the wheel, it's righty tighty, lefty loosey using the top of the adjuster as the starting point- sort of hard to explain a simple concept without diagrams....
