List,
The rear drivers side brake was completely stuck to the point of not being
able to push the car. Removed the hub (very hard to remove), backed off the
adjusting screw and removed the opposing adjustment pins. There was some
dissimilar metal corrosion on the pins and bore surface. I cleaned up both
areas (applied grease to pins) and assembled everything. Even with the
adjustment screw applying very little force on the pins, the pads are still
rubbing on the hub. Any ideas on why there's interference with the adjustment
screw being backed off?

P.S. Pads and hub surface are in good condition.
