'62 Parking Brake

["Jennifer Allyn" <gearhead.girl@xxxx>]

Once upon a time, in late '61, the 1962 Chrysler's rolled out of
factories & into dealerships.
People not only marveled at the Astradome, but never gave their parking
brakes a thought!

Now, some 40 years later I've decided to think about a simple
adjustment; but how?
The shop manual tells a simple enough tale. Once I climbed under the
torqueflite and removed the inspection plate, I could not figure out how
to turn the adjustment wheel.
Brake adjusting tool? Screwdriver? If that cross member wasn't there,
I wouldn't sound so lame on the subject!

Anyone have a good plan on how to do this or a good tool to use?

Thanks!
Matt Allyn
