Come on 86HONDA I need to get the brakes working.....please reply!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

didn't i tell you how to do it.....pushing people will not get the desired answer (you probably won't get an answer at all)....the way i told you to bleed brakes was out of a service manual for the 200sx......the other explination was a good one too......patience!.....you'll work it out!

 

OK OK Do you think I stay on the computer all day.Jack the front end of the quad up and look on the outside of the rim on each side.There should be two rubber covers on each side.Remove the covers and get a flashlight.Shine it in the holes until you see a gear inside the hub.Take a long straight flat screwdriver and turn this gear.Stop and turn the wheel while pulling in the brakes.Keep doing this on each side until you have brakes.If you still don't have brakes turn it the other way.Back off if they start to drag while not pulling in the brake.

 

Would these rubber covers be on the outside or inside(near the shocks)???
Because I see 3 rubber covers 2 on the wheel hub and 1 little one on the inside of the wheels....which one is it???

And I'm sorry for pushing you...I just can't wait to get them working.

 

That was dumb of me to ask where these rubber things are, you said in the front.

why do I need a flashlight when I can just take the whole drum off and look at the all the stuff for the brakes?

 

Ok i just went out and looked at the brakes.

The closest thing to what you said pudding was 2 gears on each the side of the small cylinder at the bottom of the brakes...is that it?????

 

Ok the rubber covers I'm talking about are on the outside of the rim.Yes you could take off the drum to do it But it would be harder to adjust.Thats the gears I'm talking about.I don't know which one it is since I don't have my manual any more.Go ahead and turn them with pliers since you already have the drums off and follow my instructions given earlier.PS make sure your next quad has discs!

 

Ok thanks i'll tell you if they work after I go out and adjust them...Thanks 86HONDA and Pudding for all the help.

AND YES, DISK'S IT IT IS!!! I hate all this fiddleing around with the drum brakes junk!!

 

WHAT THE HECK'S GOING ON????????????

THEY STILL DON'T WORK!!, I TRIED TO ADJUST THEM AND THE BRAKE SHOES DON'T MOVE AT ALL!!

(I think I need to bleed the brake lines badly because their is no movement in the brakes, or pressure in the lever when I pull the lever back).

 

why has noone explained it like this...


get a friend, and a little wrench, have him pull on the brakes and let go, while you use your wrench on the bleed valve.

here it goes, just like this, you open the valve(counter clockwise) and he pulls the lever in, and holds it, stuff will shoot out, or bubble or whatever, then close it off ( clockwise ). tell him to let the lever go.

repeat probly 20 times and be sure to collect all of the fluids with a tube or tray, the tube should go right over the bleed valve.

make sure you always have fluids in your resivoirs.
