I let this rig sit too long and the rear brakes seized up on me.
I'm now just trying to get it moved to a spot on my property to where the wrecker can tow it away.
As I recall the brake adjuster star wheel needs to be turned counterclockwise to back it off, but I can't get it to move very far.
Am I turning it the right direction?
Thanks,
Ray Mac.

I think one is clockwise, the other side counter clockwise.
of course this would depend on if you are looking at the star
wheel from the front of the rig or the back.

With a duo-servo system the adjustment lever pulls the starwheel up from the bottom.  On the access hole side (backside of wheel) that would mean to tighten the brake the starwheel would have to go in a downward direction (opposit of the lever side).  An upward direction would loosen the starwheel.
