have you used a light to look in the adjustment hole to see if you can see
the star wheel,,,,,the entire assembly will probably come off by hand if you
remove the brake line, take the bolts out of the wheel cylinder, and grind off
the heads of the t-bolts that hold the shoes in place, doing it this way will
warrant possibly only having to replace the t-bolts if everything else is
okay

Hi all ,hope I can get some answers. Car;64 barracuda with modern
8.75 rear ( 4.5 inch bolt pattern)
I am looking the rear
brakes over before fire up, as the car has been sitting for 3 years in my
carport. I know I had the drums off a couple years ago when I swapped
out the pumpkin. But now the right one is tight as hell and i cannot get it
off. I know how the star wheels and levers are supposed to work and the
supposed procedure for rough adjustment, but i CANNOT get the right drum to
budge. I have nuked it with PB Blaster , banged it with a hammer, then a
bigger hammer, tried numerous times to get in there and push off the lever and
spin the star wheel, have made 3 different "modified " screwdrivers" to try to
find the lever. I am getting pretty frustrated I even made sure the e-brake
was not on. I suppose the starwheel could be rusted up, but this is all new
stuff in there. I suppose the previous owner might have not doctored the
starwheel innards with anti-sieze like I have always done. I don't know.
Anybody ever gone through this? I suppose a puller of some sort might be able
to yank it off and take the shoes and springs along with it
The left one came right off. Neal Zimmerman, Eugene Oregon
