Hi,
Apologies if this is a simple question.
I want to adjust my EPD shoes on my MY13 D4 as I think they may be binding.
I have done the process before on my D3 (winding up the star wheel until they are tight, winding it back to the specific torque, back off 8 clicks etc) but never on my D4 and never with the IID.
Does the IID do this process automatically or is it just operate to release the shoes for replacement / removal of the drum.
Many thanks

Blow out the drums with an air line before adjusting, wear a dust mask and rotate the drums whilst putting the air gun nozzle through the inspection/adjusting hole to blow out.
LR recommend this is done every 50miles when the vehicle is being used off road It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

@JPW Dont forget there are two adjuster's to adjust not one. The ratchet wheel and the Allen bolt on the shoe.

Great thank you all.
Good thinking regarding blowing out the dust, last time with the D3 I didn't have a compressor but all good on that front now.
Flack - thanks for the reminder about the other adjuster, I had forgotten, but a quick skim through Bodsey's Brake Bible reminded me.
