Pavan...,

You have to disconnect the vac hoses from the aibox and remove the airbox. You can leave the hoses connected at their other ends. Just bend the hoses out your way, they are flexible enough.
You can see the locking nut and the brake band adjustment rod easily enough. However, it is a royal PITA to align the wrench on the nut and turn the wrench to loosen the locking nut. The end of the wrench opposite the nut sits in a narrow cavity formed between the starter motor and the engine. There is not enough room to turn the wrench alot, so you have to lift the wrench off the nut and reposition it. Do youself a favor. First, spray the nut and rod with a bolt loosener (WD-40, CRC-56, etc.). Then do something else for an hour (clean the airbox, watch TV, wash your hands, etc). Then try to loosen the nut. The first time I did it I only waited 20 minutes and I couldn't budge the nut. I resprayed and watched some cartoons on TV and it worked.

'tha, tha, tha, tha, that's all folks !'

PS: Good Luck.
