While adjusting up the shoes today, per the manual i adjusted until the drum locked. The problem is I now can't deadjust it. I am holding back the automatic adjuster when i try to turn the star wheel, but the damn thing just won't budge.
I did the other side without any problems, so I'm sure i'm not missing something.
Now worst case scenario, and the adjuster is frozen solid (which I think it is) how am I going to get this thing off? should i just attack the adjusting bolt with a chisel?

glad to see I'm not the only one who had this problem. Had the same problem on a Hilux last weekend. Except mine ended much messier. The drum had a big lip and wouldn't budge over the shoes. Ended up pulling axle and assembly off and disassembled on the floor. Got to serious with a hammer at some stage but and broke the drum
