d all the posts and figured I'd have to at least drop the shield below the =
driveshaft (if not the driveshaft) to get to the adjusting nut in order to =

 to find the "brake pressure regulator and spring" and something to substit=
ute for the "6mm drill bit") and "voila"!!  the parking brake worked perfec=
tly! The car even seemed to stop better during the test drive.  FWIW,Dan Fo=
