| As long as you did not open any bleeders on the system and your reservoir is full, all you need to do is slowly pump the break peddle after you replace the shoes.

| Ray, this is straight from the manual.
Install the adjustment set screw and turn clockwise until stationary
pad contacts disc, then back off 1/2 turn (counterclockwise). | |

I think the screw is there to make it easy to remove the pads...if you loosen the screw it makes the pads come out easier...once the pads are installed you tighten the screw until the disc won't turn anymore..then back the screw out a half turn giving the pads the proper adjustment...hope this helps... | |
