Emergency brake adjustment 120-130 1966

posted by  someone claiming to be Laurence on  Sun Jun 13 15:21 CST 1999 [RELATED]

I just bought a '66 122s, in great condition excpet for the emergency brakes. I jacked the car up, spun the wheels and stomped on the pedal so I know the rear brakes work. Also all the linkages between the e-brake handle and drum are in decent condition.

I suspect the pads just need adjusting. SO HOW DO I DO IT? I looked all around for a hole to stick a screwdriver through and adjust the starwheel, no luck. All I can find is a little bolt near the bottom of the backing plate that looks suspicious but awfully small.

I also need a manual but have had zero success locally. What do you recomend as the best working manual for the Amazon? I'm used to the Bentley manuals for VW so would like something similar.

TIA

Laurence
