Brakes, Removing Eccentric's

Post by longld »

Any tips/tricks from you experienced people on removing old brake Eccentrics? These are the adjusters on the M38A1. Tougher than getting the drum off.....

When I have a rusted nut I will heat it up real good with the propane torch then hit it with a few squirts of oil.
