Hello, I hope someone out there can help me. I have a Dolomite Legacy 600 rollator walker issued by the VA. The brakes are no longer holding. I went to the VA, and they tell me the staff can't adjust them, and since it's over two years since it was ordered, I need to schedule another appointment with my primary to get it repaired, or replaced. That will take forever, not including the problems I have with transportation back to the VA. IT'S ONLY A BRAKE ADJUSTMENT that it needs, but the VA won't budge. The mechanism works but I think over time the cable has stretched, and/or brake shoes have worn down. The manufacturers website is a joke. It says if the brakes don't hold, to adjust them with 8 mm and 10 mm wrenches. Problem is that it doesn't say HOW to adjust them. What to loosen, what to tighten, etc, etc. Is there anyone who can send me a short tutorial on how to adjust these brakes?

Is there a bicycle store, or a decent mechanically oriented bicyclist next door?
