Once you have the whole thing adjusted, it may still need final adjustment on the car. It becomes especially apparent when the brakes pull to one side or the other.
I had another particular problem with the adjusting cam - the bolt and pin turned but the cam did not. It was an interesting problem.
Someone had originally tack welded the cam to the pin, which worked fine until the weld broke. I tried the same technique but used epoxy to secure the pin to the cam. That worked like the tack weld. My most recent attempt included a torch and a hammer. There is no assurance that it'll work any better. However, I plan to replace the drum brakes with disc brakes soon. It is a large expense, but well worth the trouble if I plan to keep the car.
After twenty years, I plan to keep the car until I can't see the road anymore.
