Important: if you change one side, do the other as well.

If adjustment bolt is 'frozen' use "P'Blaster" and/or heat... removal of hub is not neccessary.

If bolt does not free up THEN change plate, preferably with new.

Drum should slip on with ease, minimal pressure- if not: A) adjuster not set properly and/or B) handbrake cables need adjustment from driving compartment.

DO NOT drive with tightness of brakes... will lead to need to redo all within 3 months/ damage to brake components/ heating up of brakes/ possible brake failure!

***TIP: use small closed wrench slid over end of 'butterfly spring' to reseat spring... slip of JUST before seating.***

GOOD LUCK, Sir!!!
Don.
