Re: [Chrysler300] '62 Parking Brake

[Mike Apfelbeck <moparmike@xxxx>]

When I worked in gas a station, back in the late sixties, the owner had a 
cute little tool with a miniature screwdriver grip on one end and a little 
hook shape on the other to turn that adjuster. Since that tool was only 
good for that one task, you probably won't find many of them around 
today.You might as well take an old screwdriver and bend it until it will 
fit in there.
