You use the brake to adjust the gap to .010". I didn't mention this because it isn't critical. I just adjust it so that the brake holds it off, and doesn't drag when it's on. That's what the springs are for. They hold the brake off the clutch when it's engaged, and then when the PTO is disengaged the clutch rests against the brake. Make sense?
