1. Insert a deep-well socket wrench to rotate the self-locking nut to loosen the cable sufficiently. Then, after returning the pedal completely, adjust the clearance of the rear shoes.
2. Remove the road wheels.
3. Using a wheel nut, fix the disc to the hub preventing it from tilting.





4. Remove the adjuster hole plug installed on the disc. Using a 7 screwdriver, turn the disc to clock wise as shown in the figure until the disc is locked. After locking, turn the adjuster to the opposite direction by 5 or 6 notches.
5. Rotate the disc to make sure that there is no drag. Then install the adjuster hole plug.

a. Operate the pedal 10 or more times with the force of 294 N (30 kg, 66 lbs.).
b. Depress the pedal until a deep-well socket can be inserted. Insert the deep-well socket, and rotate the self-locking nut to adjust the pedal stroke.

CAUTION: Do not reuse the self-locking nut after removing it.

c. After operating the pedal 3 to 4 times with the force of 196 N (20 kg, 44 lbs.), make sure that the pedal stroke is within the specified value.
