The brake adjuster doesnt seem to "click" like the others. Is there a simple answer for this?

The instructions are to file or grind the adjustment shafts to sharpen up the ends. The length is not too important but both must be the same length and have the correct angle. An angle gauge is available.

The adjustment wedge can also be renewed by filing the grooves.

Of course, new parts can be purchased.
