Ok so I need to "get out there" and adjust the rear drums again! But every time I do, I always have to go through the same rigmarole of taking the drum off and spraying some penetrating oil on the adjusters that have seized up yet again, in order to free them off. Can anybody recommend something a bit more long lasting to stop the adjusters from seizing up again and that will not just wash away by the next time? I'm a bit concerned about experimenting though, as the last thing I want to do is contaminate the brake shoes with some kind of lubricant!!! :)
