AH I did not see the phrasing in that sentence.
Yes, I just look at the R or L, and never take note of the direction of threads since I have the adjuster apart to clean the rust since I live in the rusty east!
It all makes sense now what Phil said.
And yes, I DO lubricate the threads and inside the swivel, since, again, I live in the rusty east, just like I lubricate wheel studs/nuts.

Does left hand thread adjuster belong on the driver or passenger side.
I am sure it is obvious but I am too GA to think that hard on a Sunday.

That is where LH thread adjuster is so it's correct Y/N?
I manually adjusted both sides...pedal got much better.

Regardless of which side you are looking at, when you spin the adjuster star wheel to elongate the adjuster assembly, the paw riding in the star wheel teeth should ratchet. Another way to say it is the paw on the star wheel should prevent you from shortening the adjuster assembly (unless you manually lift the paw off of the star wheel teeth).

Yes, Left is Driver's side here in the US.
And James' method works well for me on cars I do not know well, like 60s Fords.

Using James's description it went together with RH threads on the drivers side and works correctly.

Ah Phil, not to be Mr. Obvious, but you do see the R and L under the cap that spins....right? That's to identify what side they go on.

That is a generic Doctor Google picture.
Plus I think that is threads not position.
Not sure Google is our friend this time.
But thanks very much...Captain Obvious.

OK. Said another way.
The left hand (drivers side) adjuster is right hand thread and marked with an L under the cap.
The right hand (passenger side) adjuster is left hand thread and marked with an R under the cap.
Long time listener. First time caller.

I lubed everything that moves (except friction surfaces) with brake grease.

I have a box of LM self-adjusting brake parts, if anyone is needing a piece or wants purchase the box of parts. I no longer have use for the parts. Just steel now.
