<VV> Parking brake adjustment?

[EVERETT WILSON]

Ignacio - its under the car roughly beneath the back seat area.   Theres a cable from each side that comes to the center of the car and then one cable goes into the tunnel.   I think its 1/2 inch nut, might be 9/16.  Been a while.
Spray the long threaded bolt/rod with PB Blaster or your favorite penetrating oil to loosen things up a bit.
What the instructions are saying is that there is one nut in front of the cross bar under there and another behind it.   You move them both forward or aft to adjust the tightness of the two cables to the brakes, after setting the handle to 4 clicks.
Hope that helps!

My parking brake lever takes a lot of travel to engage the brake. I would
like to adjust it. What/where is the 'forward check nut on the equalizer'?
>From the service manual:

"PARKING BRAKE The service brake must be properly adjusted first as a base
for the parking brake adjustment. Adjustment 1. Jack up both rear wheels.
2. Pull parking brake lever up 4 notches from fully released position. 3.
Loosen the forward check nut on the equalizer and tighten the rear one
until a heavy drag is felt when rear wheels are rotated. 4. Tighten check
nuts securely. 5. Fully release parking brake and rotate rear wheels; no
drag should be present"
