Hi everyone, I finally got my rear break shoes installed - I want to thank everyone who help me solve my drum removal problem. But now I have another issue. I can not seem to adjust the emergency break. The Break adjuster (for lack of a better term) nut(you know the nut that connects the two break cables to the long metal tube that in turn connects to the emergency break leaver) is stuck. Every time I try and tighten it, the pole the nut is connected also rotates. Any suggestions? Also, does the self-adjusting mechanism on the rear brakes have any effect on the emergency break (i.e. If I press on the breaks enough, it will correct the problem itself :-)). Thanks again, Paul
