Lehmann trike rear drum brake problem
I have a 2001 Suzuki intruder 1400 with a Lehmann vagabond trike conversion. I am looking for a service manual first! Currently I have it on jacks because I was checking the brake shoes for their thickness. I believe this is a 79/80 mustang brake but I am ready to be corrected. When I took off the right drum, I found a cable that was disconnected and dangling. It's the parking brake cable and it has a slightly rounded piece of metal with a hook at the end. My problem is that I don't know where it hooks too!! Any help would be appreciated and a photo would make me extremely grateful.
Adjustment procedure would be appreciated also, since the left drum appears to be stuck and I'm not sure if I over adjusted it thinking I was loosening the adjuster or popped something off internally. Before I put a puller on the drum I'd like to find out if I have another problem?
Thank you Jack Klarich and Lee H Mann
Thank you Jack for the diagram and advice. It is the self adjuster cable and I'll bet the last person in there didn't realize it and left it dangling or hooked to the wrong place. I read what Lee said and I agree! I think I'll just remove the cables from the assembly (cables is in hopes of getting the left drum off). I'll be playing with it today, and If I can get a screw driver in there I'll try and pop the adjuster off.
I agree with Lee, it's a simple system. I'm a retired aircraft mechanic, so I have to think back to the days of round engines and propellers to get my head in the game. I haven't worked on brakes like since I was a kid and that was a Loooong time ago. Everything I've done is either pads or pucks for years.
If either of you know where to get a service manual for this particular conversion, let me know. I have a Suzuki intruder 1400 manual and recently picked up a spare parts bike cheap. but the vagabond needs some attention also. Thanks again to both of you and I would look forward to any advice you can give me.
