How Do Self-Adjusting Brake Assemblies Adjust Themselves
Question:
Do these brakes self adjust while while traveling forward and braking, or do you need to back up and tap the brake pedal to get them to adjust?

The Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # AKEBRK-7-SA adjusts itself with the application of the brakes. Basically if the brake shoes have to move too far before they touch the drums a pulley spins the adjustment wheel which then takes and adjusts the shoes out a bit further. This would happen in forward or reverse.
