@1200TDI If you had to hammer the adjuster wedge SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG. The little wedge is drawn down to progressively fill the gap in the mechanism as the pads and drums wear. It MUST be fitted the correct way round so that the teeth on one of the longer sides engage with the corresponding teeth on the leading edge shoe. As far as self adjusters for shoes go they are actually very good as long as they have been correctly installed. There is a little pin on the top of the adjuster to stop them being fitted the wrong way round, but can be defeated with a hammer.?.
This is what an adjuster wedge looks like and the teeth and pin can both be clearly seen.as can the location for the pull down spring...
