Travel trailer brakes - magnet question
No photos, sorry. Brakes are similar to those in Sticky thread here. 3 major parts - 2 shoes and magnet on some "arm", for lack of better word. Being not a mechanic, I hope my descriptions make sense....

Thanks people.
John - no, the pivot arm didn't freeze.
And - no, I didn't take the adjuster apart.
The emergency pin was not pulled, and why should it? The emergency brake was not activated, trailer has been sitting disconnected from the track during the flood and during the cleaning. I only connected the 7-pin after cleaning to check the brakes and help the shoes to "find their place" as described above, by spinning and applying the truck brake.
I tried to pull the emergency pin out, - when discovered first that wheel didn't spin at all, this is before cleaning. The 12V was on, and the pin pulled itself in when I let it go. Well, I am really a newbie with these things. Auto mechanics is not my forte.
