The small rubber p… 1986 Ford Bronco - I know, poor photo, but that's the threaded E cable adjuster having a die run up it to chase it's threads. 1986 Ford Bronco - Again, everything is lathered in anti-seize compound for easy adjusting next Fall. 1986 Ford Bronco - Great shot of the E-cable clip in place, doing it's job. There's the new wheel cylinder in too. 1986 Ford Bronco - Did I disassemble, clean and lather the adjuster in anti-seize ? You bet !!!!!!!!
