brake adjuster doohicky


I was cleaning my 2 bolt brake backing plates from the oval some time ago and I broke the little spring tab that stops the adjuster screws from turning on their own.

I am assuming that freshly cleaned and lubricated adjuster screws wont screw themselves back in even without that spring.

What do you think?
