Default How on earth do I adjust the parking brake??

Yes, I searched, and watched videos, which has only left me MORE confused.

You will tell me; "adjust the 17mm drum brake adjustment bolt on the drum brake which sits just behind the transfer case."

I DON'T HAVE THAT BOLT!!!! Nor any place where it looks like it would go. I looked on both sides. I've seen the manual, I've watched a dozen videos...I don't have that friggin adjustment bolt! Also, when I look down under the lever boot, there is only a rubber nipple, nothing to adjust there either.
Soooooo what the heck is up with my disco???

Pretty good looking leak from the transfer case.

So it's in the inset groove sort of in the middle. Feel around with your fingers.

I felt around, there is no bolt and no hole.

Alright, I'll get much deeper under there and look again. Maybe it's just covered in oil.
