Well, it's fixed. No more frozen brake adjuster. I called up my 89 year young neighbor and he came down and worked on it with just a crescent wrench and small ballpeen hammer and WD-40. It was 107 degrees and in a few minutes he had it moving without breaking a sweat. I've got the shoes removed from the backing plate and after plenty of oil, you can turn the adjuster with your fingers. However, we got in an argument about where and why Ford put the frame number where it is. He said, "No way would anyone ever put a serial number under the body." I have to agree with him, but I'll still keep looking for it.
