Once you have the adjuster threads freed up, do the adjustment the right way. With the tire and wheel bolted on, tighten the brakes until there is a firm drag when the wheel is turned in a forward direction. Don't adjust it tight enough to lock the wheel completely. Then back off the adjuster screw one turn- - - -that's usually 10 notches on the adjuster wheel, but count the teeth to be sure. Adjusting screws for self-adjusting brakes have fine teeth, usually 20 instead of 10. Don't worry about drag- - - -once the adjustment is loosened it's possible for the shoe assembly to shift and drag a little even when it's adjusted properly. The brakes will self center the first time they're applied. Adjust the other three wheels the same way and drive on!
