Went to get her inspected, and the first thing that failed was the p-brake. I've got to fix that, and the cable adjuster is stuck. Ive got to get a new bracket for that anyway, how tough is that to replace?

Anyway, guess that means I have to get the drums off and adjust the brakes that way. However, I tried to work them off the other day, and boy are they stuck! Huge drums, so the YouTube techniques dont work great. Whats your method to get them off? And to adjust the brake?

If you could adjust the brake without getting the drum off, I would he so happy...
