When adjusting Ruby brakes with the semi-Girling system I have found it very useful to get all the wheels off the road using blocks to support the axles after jacking each end in turn. In this position you are better able to judge the effect of each adjuster by turning the appropriate wheel. If you start with two clicks taken up on the handbrake and adjust fronts first until just beginning to bite, then take up another notch on the handbrake and do the same at the back, then you will be somewhere near. But if the kingpins are badly shot the front brakes will not neccessarily behave ideally. it is essential that all cables move freely.
