Handbrake

[bytecode]

Does anybody else find that the spring that sits by the knurled adjuster (inside the drum portion of the rear brake disc) actually catches on the "knobbly bits" of the adjuster, such that it makes turning the adjuster a real pain? Even a little copper-slip doesn't help.

Or is it just mine that's like that? Are there any tricks for preventing the spring from fouling the adjuster?
