    Ahh. This is quite possibly something that might cause issues. When I back the adjusters off, I dont get a "click" , it just winds off.

    Bleeding brake nightmare!

    I see. It baffles me really. Theres a conventional bleed nipple at the bottom of the front drums.... yet there is a pipe going top to bottom. Usually bleed nipples are at the top (as air rises to the top) So i need to bleed the fronts via the top union of said brake pipe? hmmm
