ABSTRACT:
A slack adjuster for a vehicle brake includes a slack adjuster body having a cylindrical inner surface at least partially defining a chamber in the body. A worm gear is received in the chamber in the body. At least one low friction ring is interposed between the worm gear and the body and supports the worm gear for rotation in the chamber in the body. A method of remanufacturing a slack adjuster includes the steps of removing a worm gear and at least one low friction ring from a body of the slack adjuster; setting aside the removed low friction ring; and putting the worm gear and at least one new low friction ring into the body.
