I am having problems with the brakes on a vehicle obtained from an estate. I have been told to check the back brakes to see if everything is OK.
My drum brake assemblies do not match any diagrams that I can find. I have never seen a set up like it. Might the truck have some unusual brake system that nobody seems to know about? The truck was made in Canada in 1990. It is a Sierra SLX 1500 with the heavy chassis and extended cab. The brake adjusters are at the top, just under the brake cylinder. I thought that it was improperly installed by the previous owner, but it doesn't look like they could be assembled any other way.
If anyone could help in anyway, I would greatly appreciate it.
