sezed brakes

Hi,these adjusters seze a lot,if you strip the brake you can apply heat to the adluster .With a bit of pations and a few taps it should free up.Then cover it in Vasolen,Cheers+Beers,Jim.

brakes

hi I need your help. I have received the two front back plates from AB. I was expecting the front wheel adjusters to be something like the rear ones. the adjusting bolts which go through the back plate seems to be seized, I was expecting to be able to turn them. the only difference between the ones on my van is the bolts on my van are rounded and on AB ones are his are square. am I missing something or have I been conned/

brakes

HI that,s how the adjusters are.They fit strait in to the brake shoe,If you look the inside is offset so the shoe moves as it is turned,Make sure you lub the adjuster well,It sezes a lot,thats why the end rounds off.Cheers,Jim
