One of the front brake adjuster snails on the car I'm restoring is pretty badly bent, probably beyond repair. I have two good back plates with good snails from a parts car. The spare plates are disk wheel and I need wire wheel so I can't just swap out the plate. I've not been able to figure out how to disassemble the adjusters and move one. It looks simple but nothing I've tried has worked. Does anyone know how to take them apart? Also, will the adjuster rebuild kits that are available online work in the 100/6? I think they're for BN1 / BN2.
