Larry,
On my departed 116 300SD, I always removed the wheel in order to
adjust the rear parking brake shoes... If for no other reason that
it allowed for greater vertical movement of the screwdriver and
greater movement of that "thingy" inside... If you can imagine a
clockwise movement of that "thingy", you want to move the screwdriver
upwards for the right wheel and downwards for the left wheel.....
That will result in moving each shoe closer (outwards) to the parking
brake drum.......
Keep rotating the rear rotor (or wheel if you don't remove it) to
feel resistance, adjust to NO movement, then back off two clicks.
Hope this helps and hope my memory has worked on this........
Take care,
Chuck

Howdy -
I was reading the procedure for adjusting the rear brakes and
it tells
of removing a single wheel lug, - and adjusting the brakes thru the
hole -
but it mentions the need to remove the Light Alloy Wheel. Does the
standard
wheels on my '91 300D 2.5T count as light alloy in this case? My
wheels are
the standard 18 hole (?) alloy wheel.
Anyone know the reason the referenced wheels need to be removed to
adjust
the parking brakes? I'm not sure I understand how the lug stud
hole would
be blocked in any way
TIA -
