Where can I buy an adjuster star wheel for drum brake

[msrdude]

I have a 96 corolla and when I replaced my brake drum and shoes, everything was bad (except the parking brake lever thing). I was able to find replacement parts for everything except the star wheel. Auto parts do not seem to carry them. Anyone know where can I get one besides going to a junkyard?

Dealer, I know places sell them since we can get them at our shop from our suppliers. look online for a hardware kit with adjuster.

Went poking around on the net- Ask for a self adjuster kit. Centric makes them and many parts stores stock their hardware.

thanks guys. Just wondering, how does a star wheel for a drum brake go bad??

[Bitter]

they typically get seized up with rust and don't turn anymore. they need to be able to move very freely and easily to self adjust.

I found the star wheels online for 13 dollars for each side. I asked my friend because he works at Toyota, and he said he can get the star wheels for me for 25 dollars for each side

Should I buy the star wheels online or go with Toyota??

if you go to www.rockauto.com and enter in your car info...it has adjuster star wheels as a part of a repair kit, the lowest price is about 7 bucks a side up to 20 if you plan on replacing some other parts like springs and levers and stuff
