That is just the adjuster mounting block.
It is not available as a spare part. It is welded to the backing plate.
You are going to need to find a complete backing plate.
What the heck happened?? That took some force to bend that. |

| The star adjusters should come out so they can be cleaned/lubed. |

A little heat and a pair of pliers will get them out. Then just clean and use anti-seeze on them, when you go to put them back together. Just so you know, the star adjusters are available as replacements too, but the star portion is brass rather than steel. |

| Yea, Bob. That's what I meant. On my bus they were stuck as the bus literally hadn't moved for 12 years. I got them out, cleaned 'em with a brass wire wheel and used silver anti-sieze when I rebuilt the brakes. And those were brass. |

| Mine are steel too. And they rust too. I was just commenting that the replacements being sold are made of brass. |
