[V8] Give me a brake

[Tony and Lillie]

The adjustment is under the center of the car. You will probably have to 
remove the exhaust, but I'm not 100% sure of that. There is a cable that 
goes off the handle down there. Then, there is a threaded rod on the end of 
it, and a U shaped piece if steel screwed on. The two cables for each side 
are attached to that U. Unscrew the nut on the threaded rod, and that 
loosens the e'brake adjustment.
