Pontiac Tempest (1965)

Apply the parking brake lightly and check equalization by turning rear wheels. Loosen adjusting screw of tightest brake, if adjustment is uneven. If more than a few notches movement are required for equalization, loosen clamp screws on spreader and pull downward on tighter cable. Cable tension should equalize. Tighten spreader clamp screws while parking brake lever is still in applied position. When lever is fully released, wheels should turn freely, while pulling cable down (grip midway between conduit and guide on frame). When adjusting rear end of front cable, be sure to turn clevis on or off cable end, but do not twist cable.
