Technical Rear brake problem

[Wsaslk]

Hi I have a 2010 500 1.2 lounge.
After stripping down my rear brakes to replace the handbrake cables I have discovered that the shoe adjusters have been damaged and will not wind in or out.
The adjusters have u shaped fork at each end and threaded section at one end similar to the attached photo

Need help on what to do next most of the adjusters for sale are different to mine and fiat want £250 for a pair.
Are they the same as any other fiat models?
The other adjusters are more like a flat bar, can either type of adjuster be used?
Any help and advice would be much appreciated

Heat them up with a gas torch or even gas cooker.































I believe Bosch sell the whole assembly set up that comes with adjusters

My adjusters are beyond freeing up with heat the threaded part has been bent somehow?
The complete kit is interesting if it's a straight swap , the adjusters on the set up look to be the flat bar type as in the attached photo.
Does anyone know if the other type of adjusters can be used?

OK thanks I will have a check and determine which braking brand/system is fitted, car was registered 11/2010 but build date could have been before 05/2010
