Just wondered if anyone had a better idea?
The problem:
The rear brake adjuster was seized on one rear wheel of my R-type
(with shoes locked on, the drum would not come off, I do not know
what is causing that problem - yet!) so, after gallons of penetrating
fluid, I tried to persuade it off.
Yes, the obvious; the adjuster snapped like a carrot, alas in
between 'clicks'. The result is that the rear drum is now well and
truly jammed.
Best attempted solution I have thought of so far:
I wondered if the drum could be released if I undid the nuts securing
both the expander assembly and that of the mechanical actuator and
tapped them inside the drum?
All ideas gratefully received!
