Hello,

I've got a 1992 240 sedan and I'm trying to change the rear brakes.

Initially they were rusted to the hub (the rotor wouldn't even wiggle
when I tried to pull it off). I let them soak in PB Blaster and hit
them with a hammer, and now they'll slide back and forth about .5 mm

I think they're getting stuck on the parking brake shoes now. How can I
get the shoes to retract?

There's a small hole in the rotor where I can put in a screwdriver. But
I can't see anything through the hole (even with a flashlight shining
in), and I'm not sure where the adjuster might be. My repair manual
mentions it, but doesn't mention if the hole should be at 10 o'clock, 3
o'clock, etc. for it to be located above the adjuster.

Also, is there another way to make the shoes retract? Maybe an
adjustment at the parking brake lever?

Since the rotors are coming off to get replaced with some Brembos I got
from FCP, I was thinking about just drilling some holes in the old
rotors and poking a stick in there to hold the shoes down while I pull
the rotor off. Would this work, or is it just a dumb idea?

And this last question is a dumb one, but - with the car in neutral
with one rear wheel on and one off the ground, will it be possible to
rotate the off-the-ground wheel? Or do they turn in tandem? Asking
because I don't have anything handy to block the wheels right now so
I've been aprehensive about puting the car in neutral with a wheel
raised.

TIA,

Sean C.
