Think of it this way:
With the lever in front, pushing the star wheel down, the star wheel expands. This takes up the brakes.
Put the star wheel in your hand, the way it goes on your brake shoes, and try it. - DaveMember, Sons of the American Revolution

Bryan, is that a new type of rear wheel air brakes?
I always take pictures, and lots of them from different angles. If I don't end up looking at them, other members do.Member, Sons of the American Revolution
