  Hi to all,

It's spring and things are warming up. So I'm taking advantage by 
working on my brakes which brings
me to a question. I have the right rear hub off and I'm trying to adjust 
the front brake shoe. Both sides
were stuck but with some cleaning and some fussing I coaxed the rear 
adjuster to work. The front
adjuster will not budge no matter what I do. It isn't rusted up, it's 
clean and free visually but will not move.
It appears it was that way before I got the car because the adjuster 
head is rounded a little bit. According
to the maint. manual I'm trying to turn it the correct direction, so I'm 
wondering if anyone has an idea or is it
trash.

Thanks for any suggestions.
Neal

Hi Neal,

Occasionally, the adjusters, front or rear, will freeze over time, and
usually because they haven't been moved / adjusted/ lubricated in a long
time. Ideally, they should turn, easily, in either direction.  Make sure
to
use a 6-point 7/16th socket , not a twelve point,   if fighting you...

Best thing that works for me,  if dealing with a frozen adjuster, is to
remove the entire brake support plate and place it in a vise . Give it a
few
shots of penetrating oil and let soak awhile. If that doesn't work, heat
works wonders - I have yet to see a frozen anything that does not respond
well to judicious application of heat from an oxy-acetylene torch !

Once unstuck, lube liberally, and coat rubbing surfaces with Never-Seize.

Good luck !  and happy Easter !

John
