Ditto !

That should be done as SOP every time one "does a brake job" <G> ! ! !

Just a note that there could be up to nine (9) clevis pins/holes for same that
can "wear"/"elongate" which throws EVERYTHING out of whack ! !

Same goes for the cylinder "mask" and/or "abutment" (internal parts <G>).

Enjoy & HTHs ! ! !
