Do you mean the parking brake handle?

Here are some notes on the rear drums: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q_how_to/a3b4/jetdrumrearbrakes.htm

I wanted to adjust the rear brake shoes and there is a squeek coming from the after looking at pictures that you recommended I believe the adjusting wedge is not doing its part. I assume that these are self adjusting brakes but is it common for the adjusting wedge to get stuck?

Maybe there's a sharp edge that it's getting caught on? Grease?
