Subject:      Adjusting the Emergency Break

Hi everyone,

I finally got my rear break shoes installed - I want to thank everyone
who help me solve my drum removal problem.  But now I have another
issue.

I can not seem to adjust the emergency break.  The Break adjuster (for
lack of a better term) nut(you know the nut that connects the two
break cables to the long metal tube that in turn connects to the
emergency break leaver) is stuck.  Every time I try and tighten it,
the pole the nut is connected also rotates.

Any suggestions?

Also, does the self-adjusting mechanism on the rear brakes have any
effect on the emergency break (i.e. If I press on the breaks enough,
it will correct the problem itself :-)).

Thanks again,

Paul
