    Alright. Because in my post trip I found this
    20200104_152755.jpg

    Had to loosen the adjuster to line the bolt holes up and now when I tighten it the rod moves instead of the cam.


    In order to remedy the issue I have to do what? Pull the drums and all that or?

    The shoes are also nearly new. The rollers are in the bottom of the cam

    The adjuster was backed off while the bracket was loose. The bracket is attached to the axle and now when tightening the adjuster to set the brakes correctly the pushrod goes back into the can. I'm under the impression that the pushrod shouldn't move when adjusting the brakes.

    Or bushings are tied up, or cam is bent. Probably tied up and sheared bolts when hitting brakes. Or something hit it.
