Adjusted drum brakes, now they're stuck - help!
#3
Slackening cables won't make a difference if the auto adjuster is over tight.

The only access is through the bolt hole but due to the ratchet mechanism it is difficult to turn backwards.

It is not safe to leave like that, it'll rip the friction material off and lock the drum solid eventually (not fun!).
