Trying to replace the wheel cylinders and shoes on the rear of my '72 (discs up front and drums in back). Can't get adjuster to budge at ALL on passenger side, either tighter or looser. Using angled wire to pull actuating lever out prior to trying to adjust shoes OUT. Star wheel doesn't apepar to budge either in or out! ANy tips/tricks????????
Tried a MFH(medium F!@#ing hammer, but havent pulled the BFH yet!
