Brake adjustment - Frustration

[Dick Steinkamp]

Try disconnecting the brake rod at that wheel and pulling the arm as back as far as you can, back off the adjuster a few turns and rap the drum and backing plate with a rubber mallet. Then attach your puller and hopefully it comes off.

Don't get discouraged. It's a hobby . You'll learn by the experience and you'll get some satisfaction when you find and fix the problem.
