Rear Drum Brake Service

Gordon NicholsMassachusetts 1993 CMC Supporting Member

My brake pedal has slowly been getting progressively lower so I decided to adjust the rear shoes and, of course, the adjusters are corroded and don't move. I can't remember when I adjusted them last but suspect it was back in Beaufort, so 2011 or so. Guess I can't complain much.

When I last messed with them I applied Anti-Seize to the adjusters which seems to have been a futile effort, since they still seized up, so I'm wondering what you guys are using on your adjusters and how well it works? At this point, since copper Anti-Seize is less than ideal, I might just put a film of high temp grease on them to get them adjusted and go for another nine years.

Ideas?
