One more point about park brakes
There are several auto manufacturers who have the rear brake adjustment throught the park brake cables.
early escorts and "K" cars come to mind first but i know i have worked on literally hundreds of cars with the rear beakes out of adjustment that needed to have the park set 4 or 5 times to bring them back into adjustment.
renault LE-CAR was one also.
hmmm maybe i go look and see how many cars use the P-brake for adjusting the rears?
next week when i get home.
