hey ive just changed my rear shoes and drums on my 1200 ute, i dont think theyve ever been done becuase the star adjuster is rounded off (as in where you adjust it) and it looks like theyve given up. i was wondering if any one could help me with sourcing either new/used rear shoe adjusters or let me know where to look or what would work, any help would be appreciated its my first car and im trying to learn everything i can, thanks!

With mine I pulled it out welded the stripped end then made it square again on a bench grinder.
Pull it apart whilst you are at it and apply grease to the moving parts.
Worked for me :)

Why not just buy new ones from Nissan? Part number should be 44200-18000

That part number is for the square adjuster

Star adjuster for newer ute is the same as B310 Sunny.

How would we possibly know if a previous owner swapped in non-stock brakes?

But we do know that:
* 44200-18000 is a square adjuster
* 1200 Ute star adjuster is same as B310 star adjuster

Go to the wreckers with your old one, and if the B310 unit is the same, buy it

Or you could order one from Nissan, but maybe you have a different one ....
