The M37 vehicle I purchased has auto positive-locking differential from PowerTrax of CA. installed. It may not matter but the transmission, bellhousing, and plant were from a gamma goat.
To adjust the brakes I need to be able to rotate the drum from top to bottom of each shoe. The vehicle is off the ground in the rear.
Out of gear I"m only able to rotate the wheels (drum) a bit...well the powertrax manual indicates there should be of 25 degrees of free play by design of the locker. that does seem about right.
--also occassionaly, at random, in playig with it, the drums will rotate further than the 25 degrees, but I can't reproduce it consistently.
Anyhow, all I know to do is either 1)start the truck and put in gear trying randomly to position the drums where I need them , 2) disengate each axel shaft (hate to undo my recent gasketing of each).
