it is the part i'm adjusting that i'm not sure about. the wording in the
book is not clear to me. i see the piece that is in the center where the hand
brake cable comes into it. it looks like a prong and then a piece goes
through it and you connect it with a pin. (damn i wish i could ever remember
the
proper terminology). does that make sense...and then from that center piece
each side goes off to the breaks. i took the pin out which disconnects the
hand brake entirely. i have since put it back together because i didnt see
how
i could adjust it from there. or am i just supposed to tighten something
with a wrench, but i don't see anything that makes sense. the book said put
the hand brake on the 3rd notch, and mentioned doing the rear brakes etc.
the only thing im trying to accomplish at this point is getting the hand
brake to work enough to safely go the few blocks i need to go to get to the
mechanic. after cleaning and taking things apart, it feels like i have enough
pressure to travel the back roads to get there, just wanted a little xtra
stopping power. is it still possible to do the hand brake without adjusting
the
rear brakes for that purpose?
