    rear brake is dragging so I'm attempting to re-center. Following what the book says:i.e. loosen rear wheel axle nut and brake shoe pivot stud nut, spin the wheel, brake and tighten. Questions are;what exactly am I re-centering? What about the screw slot in the brake shoe pivot stud, and how tight do I tighten the pivot stud nut?
    Appreciate any help.
