even easier if you can recruit an assistant (one person holds the brake calipers/cable and the other person loosens/tightens the allen bolt).
Good luck!
oh one more thing -- make sure your brake quick release is down when you do this.
My friend/assistant doesn't have opposable thumbs
Maybe I should get one of those helper monkeys.
I did see this exact method in my research travels but can't find it now, it also showed the "third hand".
It also said this is one of the easiest things for a new mechanic to screw up. I may just have the on site mechanic look at it on Saturday.
Thanks, guys!
