What is the correct way to adjust these oddball brakes ?? I bought a 75 Monza that was stored for 20 years. I rebuilt all the brakes. No problem. But I cannot figure out how to adjust the parking brake mechanisms. They are not the typical GM star wheel adjusters. There is a bar between the drums with a slider that has some metal tabs that lock to ridges on the bar. I bought new adjuster mechanisms off ebay and they came with the adjuster plier tool. But I have no idea how to use the tool to adjust these brakes. The little tabs in the adjuster are very fragile and I think i should get some instruction before I experiment on them.
