it is the part i'm adjusting that i'm not sure about. the wording in the  
book is not clear to me.  i see the piece that is in the center where the  hand 
brake cable comes into it.  it looks like a prong and then a piece  goes 
through it and you connect it with a pin.  (damn i wish i could ever  remember the 
proper terminology).  does that make sense...and then from  that center piece 
each side goes off to the breaks.  i took the pin  out which disconnects the 
hand brake entirely.  i have since put it back  together because i didnt see how 
i could adjust it from there.  or am i  just supposed to tighten something 
with a wrench, but i don't see anything that  makes sense.  the book said put 
the hand brake on the 3rd notch, and  mentioned doing the rear brakes etc.
 
the only thing im trying to accomplish at this point is getting the hand  
brake to work enough to safely go the few blocks i need to go to get to the  
mechanic.  after cleaning and taking things apart, it feels like i have  enough 
pressure to travel the back roads to get there, just wanted a little xtra  
stopping power. is it still possible to do the hand brake without  adjusting the 
rear brakes for that purpose?
