Just got the car back from the body shop... pulled the ashtray to look
at the saddle yoke and found that it is way off balance--and this with
disc brakes in the rear. I can't take off the wheels just yet
(logistical issues), and I can't tell from the shop manual whether
there's a slack adjustment at the calipers by which I might balance the
cables individually--nothing like this is mentioned, though it does
mention making sure the p-brake arm contacts the brake caliper pin. If
it isn't, I could see this being the problem.

If there isn't a slack adjustment and if the pads are thick on both
sides, what should I be looking for to balance that yoke?
