WTB 521 drum brake adjusters


Recommended Posts

Howdy y'all. On my 521 I have a busted brake adjuster and one that is so stuck I don't know if I can save it. Worst one is driver side front. But I am not sure if side matters?

 

I also hear that a 620 adjuster might do the trick too.

 

Who knew these were so hard to find nowadays!

 

Can anyone hook a fellow up?

take off the drum and wire brush/wd40 them and maybe anti seize compound.

 

maybe there oil and brake dust/rust goud up in there on the threads

 

I will try that on the one for sure Hainz, the other is broken though. The football shaped plate that holds the adjuster in position on the back of the drum is totally gone. So the adjuster just floats inside the slot.

 

Also will I have trouble pulling the drum if I can't loosen the adjuster? I guess I have little option. Cause the adjuster sure isn't moving from the back side. I even made a hooked screwdriver tool, it won't budge. Been pd blasting it for 3 days.
