Remove the drum on the good side and you can see how the adjuster system works. Then use that information to remove the drum on the stuck side.




Excellent advice.

I got it off but I never did figure it out. It does have a star whee but the teeth are such that i don't think i could have backed it off.

I'm not sure where the pressure was coming from. I just kept pounding and prying but it fought me all the way. The E-brake was snug but not tight.

The brakes will get redone and I'll never know.

Thanks for all the input.
