So, I've got an 8 3/4 I'm trying to get together for the first time. I've been following the '69 Factory Service Manual but seem to have gotten a little stuck. I've installed the axles and bolted down the flanges to the housing. I then turned the adjuster as far clockwise as I can (as the FSM stated, using my fingers) and now I'm unsure what to do. It says to turn the adjuster 4 notches, but what is considered a notch? The adjuster has a long prong followed by a short prong. So is each prong considered a "notch?" Right now, there's no play on either side. I'm using Dr Diff's 11.7" disc brake kit, fyi.
What's the best way about doing this? I don't want a screwed up 8 3/4 because I adjusted it wrong.
