Subject:parking brake adjustment frozen
From:Richard A Jones

The nut on the rod that adjusts the parking brake is
frozen.  I've tried Kroil soaking and heating with a
propane torch, but I can;t move it--either tighter or
looser.

It looks like a Nylock nut by the shape.

Any suggestions?  This is on an '87 Syncro, so the
skid rails and prop shaft are in the way.
