Emergency brake question
Preparing to remove spindles for rebuild, does the adjuster click up to contract the shoes - same for passenger & driver sides ? Things look somewhat rusty through the hole and I see a spring floating around inside. Also do the brake shoes usually conflict with the rotor sliding off or not ? The wheel has only slight drag with pads removed. 73 with 70K miles, never been touched, rivets in place.

Ditto on the pain, appears that everything south of the door is full of it.
