Thanks everyone for the responses. If the brakes needed to be serviced can they be done without major disassembly? Does the tranny need to come out? Looking at the diagram I thought I saw a screw/jam nut on part #2 in the picture but I didn't get to mess with it and couldn't see what it really adjusts.
