1964 Chevy P10 Wrench Fetcher 1 Joined: Nov 2017 Posts: 28 Northern Va	Well my star nut adjuster hole is in the face of the drum-not the backing plate. Thinking of drilling a hole in the back of my backing plate so I dont have to take the wheel off just to adjust the brakes? since these are pre-self adjusting style. Also, any possibility I can just buy the same size self adjusting shoes/hardware/spring kit and install it in place of my existing situation or am I stuck with these non self adjusting brakes?
