Hi Bill,
well I must have something screwed up really well when I replaced the
axle shafts. (else I would never take them both off at the same time).
Actually, the wheel will only turn backwards with force and forward
not at all. (They should put those brakes on a prius)
I am also wondering if I ever had the correct emergency brake lever in
there.
With the adjusting star you mean the star of the adjusting screw,
right?
