Hole in hub for adjusting emergency brake?
The directions I've found for adjusting the emergency brake say to use a screwdriver to adjust the screw in the hole in the rear wheel hub. Last night I was unable to find the screw for adjustment.
There are three holes in the outer side of the hub, but none seemed to work. How do I position the holes and lug bolts so they're lined up to be able to adjust the emergency brake? (Am I lost and this isn't how it works?

Remember that the 'star' has points that come out towards you so you don't turn a screw in the normal way. You have to lever-up/down each point with a scooping motion. I suggest that you might think about taking off the caliper and rotor to familiarise yourself with what it looks like underneath. You will also get a chance to check for wear on the parking-brake shoes.
