    Adjuster fully extended, pads locked against drum. Parking brake off. Locking plate moves away freely from adjuster wheel. Adjuster wheel won’t budge one way or the other.

    S. Well that explains things.

    Passenger side is definitely righty-tighty with the adjuster threads pointing to the rear of the vehicle.

    I’ll try Lefty-tighty, threads toward rear on driver’s.

    If anyone else can verify, that’d add confidence.

    Good vid. Timmy’s a national treasure.
