I only checked the passenger side as I ran out of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its found on the end of the booster rod. screw it in half a turn (hold with long nose pliers)This fixed my problem and now the back brakes dont get hot and even have fuel economy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
