[FC] adjusting emergency brake 63 rampside

[J R Read_HML]

Actually, I said that wrong.  Was thinking about a LM car at the time.

The "equalizer" is a whole assembly and shows on page 5-17 of the shop 
manual.  Daniel says to "remove the pin", but I'm not sure that is needed. 
Perhaps that makes it easier?  The adjustment is at the two nuts - labeled 
#5 in figure 5-31.

Later, JR
