One Way to Free a Stuck Star Adjuster

[busaddict]

I'm replacing the drum brakes on my '74 bus, everything went smoothly until I got to the last star adjuster, it wouldn't budge. Took a break and checked for something on YouTube and voilà. I think he picked up the technique from the Samba

"Stuck Drum Brake Adjusters? Gus the Crunchy Bus - Episode 13" - YouTube

That is standard operating procedure to remove seized stars at the shop...

It's the way stuck rear brake drums are removed off a Toyota Corolla also. ((2 bolts on opposite sides of the drum, tighten them one turn at a time and a stuck drum just pops right off, very handy)
