  • Brake drum self adjuster mechanism

    I have a 1988 Festiva which has no teeth on the self-adjuster does anyone know where I can get a replacement?

    Have you called the local auto parts store? Drum brakes are pretty common.

          if you're patient, you can re-groove the adjuster with a jewlers file... just sayin'

            actually there is no grooves (smooth) to even start to file but thanks for the idea.
