I still haven't upgraded to self adjusting brakes.
Today I tried to adjust my front brakes, but on the passenger side I couldn't get the star to even turn.
So I took the wheel off to remove the drum, and I can't get the drum off.
Tomorrow I'll try some PB Blaster Penetrating Oil. Maybe after a few days later I'll be able to loosen them enough to get the drum off.
I figured if the star adjuster is frozen, I had better look at the shoes.
