Alright that paints a better picture then lol. I figured with most jeeps in the salt belt territory, they wouldn't work. But if it don't work then I guess we are all screwed out of that. I've tried it before but then again I could have just "thought" it got better

They don't work in Arizona and they're seized like a mother in the salt belt.

Then how do you adjust them when they're laying in the street?

Taking them apart and coating the threads with anti-seize helps big time with this.

Not in the street, they rattled around in the drum. When backing up you pop the parking brake and the auto adjusters get jammed between the drum and shoe. Presto, brakes are tight again!

That's how we do things up here.
