Emergency brake equalizer
I have had to strip my rear frame section to address some frame issues. Due to rust I had to replace my brake drum backing plates, my bellcranks have been rusted open for years. My question is the e-brake equalizer is stationary. I believe it must move to be effective. Is there a load recomendation on the movement of the equalizer?

The hardware holding it down has bushings I think nylon or something along those lines.
There is also a lock nut on the bolt .( A normal nut and lock washer will be to loose and vibrate off or to tight to move) The lock nut says in place while allowing the equalizer to do it`s job.Which is to move freely by hand with the cables disconnected.
If you went to all this much work trot over to your local dealer and buy all the new parts . Much easier then bringing life back to old dead ones and not all that expensive.
