Howdy there Guys!

The problems with those rear brakes continue... Last week when I attended a car show in Castroville, TX, which is a 13 mile drive, my rear brakes locked up. I made it all the way to the show entrance, handed over the $2 admittance fee, and then couldn't get the car to proceed forward. A couple of good Samaritans towed me to the back of the lot where I let the brakes cool down so I could back the adjustment screws off.

It seemed like it took a lot of turns to get the screws fully backed off. Once backed off I was able to drive home with no problems other than excessive stopping distance. Just when I thought I had rid myself of these problems, it happens again. What gives guys? I'm not sure if the adjusting screws are walking out, which doesn't seem possible. Or, the parking brake cables are getting caught in the steel sheaths. What should I do now?

Thanks,
