After shrugging off annoying noises from the rear brakes on my truck i finally decided i needed to waste my time fixing the problem, hammered off the rear drum and found this bad boy rusted closed and horribly worn brake shoes, hope nothings wrong with the drum

bah, its just a screw adjuster, either let it soak in penatrating fluid overnight or buy a new one for $5
odds are you wont even need to shorten it.

Do you own a pre ww2 truck or something? How do you even get that much oxidation?

Just bought less than a month ago, not a bad truck until you look underneath

as long as the wheel cylinders are not leaking fluid just clean everything off with brake cleaner lube up the adjuster screw and put it all back together

>adjuster rusted closed
>horribly worn brake shoes
pick one
also if you use the emergency brake occasionally it will keep the adjuster from seizing

Jesus that's insane. Why don't they make a winter package species with galvanized or stainless steel? I imagine the resale value would offset the higher initial purchase price.
