Travel trailer brakes - magnet question
No photos, sorry. Brakes are similar to those in Sticky thread here. 3 major parts - 2 shoes and magnet on some "arm", for lack of better word. Being not a mechanic, I hope my descriptions make sense....

Jbarca - many thanks.
Adjusted the "teeth", good neighbor gave me the tool. Darn guy, he knew how to, but was too lazy to teach or get under the rig himself :)
A Question: how little drag is OK? It can spin now 3 circles on its own, but it also has a play when I apply the brake - I can move wheel a few inches back-forth, and then shoes grip tight.
I also noticed that some drag re-appears after applying the brake, ex. from 3 full circles of spin it goes to 2-2.5 circles, and even if I loosen the adjuster all the way, ~2.5 circles is all I can achieve, and then there is more play with brakes on.
