I have a 88 F-150 2WD. The people that inspected it said the emergency brake needs a "slight" adjustment. I have noticed it has to be pushed down pretty far. I looked at the adjustment cable, and it is a ball of rust. Instead of tearing it all apart (and my knuckles), can I adjust the rear brakes up to where they are just short of rubbing and therefore adjust the emergency brake? I have seen at JC Whitney they have a item that slips over the cable and will take slack out of the line, but that seems like a "afro-engineering job" to me.
Ideas?? Thoughts??
