Bedford TK rear park brake setup.

Hi all,

I have a TK Bedford, model I believe is KC, 16inch wheel model and year around mid 1970. It has an air actuated park brake, the pressure pot is mounted on the diff. The pressure pot has an internal piston / spring and a rod to then actuate through levers to long 2 rods. One of these long rods goes to the LH rear brake bisector, and the other to the RH brake bisector. Both these rods and the pressure pot rod have adhjusting threads on them.

Can someone please tell me how to set up this park brake system, all I know is that it has to be done with the air on, so the spring is compressed in the pot.The spring is what puts the brakes on when there is no air pressure.

Thanks for your help

Christine

P.S(I am a mechanic all you guys, so can do this if I know the procedure / settings)
