Parking brake tool

Will I need a special tool to adjust the parking brake accessing the adjuster through a lug nut hole or will a regular flathead screw driver do the job? Was told by fcpeuro that I need tool with part number 321030 but this looks like a tool for something else. Thanks

Did you end up doing this? I'm wanting to adjust my parking brake to see if it remedies the brake squeak at lower speeds. If so, any pics or advice?

Parking brake

I replace my rear rotors and pads so had to retract the parking brake shoes to get the rotors off. The video below was perfect for dealing with the parking brake. I didn’t loosen the parking brake cable like in the video. I just adjusted the parking brake shoes until it felt right then called it good enough. When I tested the parking brakes they worked fine.
