Default Re: Brake adjustment - Frustration

Update - more information but still no fix. I now find the same symptom on both front brakes, too. I pulled the drums off all four brakes and found out why the adjuster freewheels ccw - the brake adjusting RODS are so TIGHT that they don't retract... the wedge forces them out but the brake springs aren't strong enough to retract them when the wedge backs away. I have to rap the rods with a small hammer to get them to moved back. Now waiting to see if Snyder has any suggestions for a remedy.
