Brake Adj. Screw Assy

The Brake Adj. Screw Assy is a complete brake adjuster screw assembly (star wheel adjuster) for trailer drum brakes, available at Skipper B Trailers in Westwego, Louisiana. This is the threaded mechanism inside the drum brake that controls the distance between the brake shoes and the drum — turn the star wheel one direction to spread the shoes closer to the drum for tighter braking, turn it the other direction to retract the shoes for more clearance. It's the primary adjustment point for setting proper brake engagement on boat trailers and utility trailers towing through the stop-and-go traffic of Jefferson Parish, the Westbank Expressway, Interstate 10, Highway 90, and the Greater New Orleans metro area.

Louisiana trailer owners who service their own brakes understand that the adjuster screw assembly is the first internal component to seize from corrosion after repeated saltwater and brackish water launches. Every submersion at Bayou Segnette State Park, Lake Pontchartrain, and the ramps across the West Bank floods the drum with corrosive water that attacks the star wheel threads. Once the adjuster seizes, you can't set brake shoe clearance — the shoes either drag against the drum generating heat and premature wear, or sit too far back and barely engage when you need stopping power. A seized adjuster also makes it impossible to retract the shoes far enough to remove the drum during future brake service. Whether you're Fishing Fanatic Frank replacing a seized adjuster he found during a brake inspection, a marine repair shop stocking adjuster assemblies for customer brake jobs in Marrero, Harvey, and Gretna, or Captain Chris overhauling drum brakes on fleet trailers with fresh hardware throughout, this complete assembly restores full brake adjustment capability.

At $5.98, this adjuster screw assembly is an inexpensive but critical brake component that should be replaced whenever it's corroded, seized, or stripped. The complete assembly includes the threaded rod, star wheel, and socket ends — everything needed to restore proper shoe adjustment inside the drum. Never reuse a seized or stripped adjuster during a brake job — the cost of a new assembly is negligible compared to the braking problems a non-functional adjuster creates. Perfect for drum brake service, brake rebuilds, adjuster replacements, and preventive maintenance on boat trailers and utility trailers throughout Southeast Louisiana.
