front brakes - need help
having some problems with the front brakes of a polaris outlaw 90. I put new brake shoes on. I need new brake adjustment screws
(Anyone know the part number? I can't find it anywhere and can't locate them in the parts catalog diagrams)
There seems to be too much drag on the wheels after putting on the new brake shoes, how would I correct this?. Also the brake arms seem to lock up and not move smoothly, sometimes they get stuck in the upward position. I tried cleaning it all out and putting some lubrication in there but it still occasionally gets stuck on both sides. Never worked on ATV's before and the service manual I managed to find online is extremely vague in the brakes section. Please help

Looked on all models,they're basically the same over the years.
Sportsman 90 Predator 90,Outlaw 90. Doesn't show the two adjusters on the brake assy on the bars. Only shows the brake cables. If this is the case they only come with the brake assy which is stupid. You might want to check a dealer,but don't know if that will help. If you didn't remove and grease the brake cam inside the drum before you replaced the brake shoes,this could be the problem on sticking.Dirt Cheap Yamaha, Honda, Arctic Cat & Polaris OEM Parts & Accessories – Cycle Parts Warehouse

Your right, I didn't grease the shafts. I'll do that, is there any special type of grease I need to use?
As for the brake adjuster screws/nuts.... Yeah I think your correct it's part of the brake assembly. The dealer couldn't find the part I am looking for. ****, I don't want to buy new lever assemblies just to get two screws.
