I have the flip up type but I too was at the limit of adjustment on both
ends of the cable. Problem turned out to be that my shoes where worn out. I
took them off and took them to a truck brake shop and had them relined. I
don't recall the cost, but seems to me it was under $50. I had posted some
hints I discovered about doing this that differ from the manual some ago but
I don't recall the details now, perhaps a search of the archives???
later,
