My parking brake isn't holding the bike anymore. I got the service manual out and unloosened the nut holding the hex rod. When I turn the rod it rotates the round tube the cable runs through. Do I need to visegrip that down to make adjustments?

The hex rod finally broke free and I got the brake adjusted. Probably two years of water spray really made it tight. I ran it out more than needed and put some anti-sieze on it before I adjusted to where it holds the bike.
