[s-cars] e-brake woes

[Peter Schulz]

Gabriel:

I did it on the garage floor on one of my 200 wagons, as well on a 93 100...
in both cases it was done with both the driveshaft AND exhaust in place.
The "secret" tools required were high quallity, long reach need nose 
pliers, and a small cats paw.

Both these tools will allow you to work "around" the obstructions of the 
exhaust and drive shaft.
spraying the nuts mounting the heat shields etc, with your favorite rust 
penetrant ahead of the R&R is highly recommended
