Hello Herb; According to my Volvo manual, and confirmed when I did the rear brakes on the 240 a couple of weeks ago, the 17mm nut in the console is the only adjustment for the parking brake for the models without the star adjuster.
IF that does not do it, 5 to 8 clicks for firm engagement,then there could be a problem with the shoes/hardware or stretched cables. I found a busted spring in the left side on mine that was causing problems and noise.
