LS 160 with brake issues. Mechanical brakes. All that's visible is a ratcheting hand lever connected to a rod. Everything else is in the chain box. Anyone have any experience with the adjustments/procedure? Assuming it's done on the inside, but the diagrams in the parts breakdown don't show anything obvious.
Also have a park brake warning light on with no visible wires or switches on or near the brake handle or visible linkage. Does anyone know what controls that light?

Brake operating arm is splined to the brake shaft. Remove linkage and arm and re-index arm on shaft to create more shaft rotation.
Not sure about the icon, was thinking
G there's a switch in the lever assembly.

As simple as a splined shaft. Sounds a lot less complicated than I had imagined.
Not sure what to make of the brake warning light though. We may just have to live with that.
