Re: '88 Grand Wagon brake job

I like to coat the notch in the half moon cable slider with antiseize to 
keep the cable moving free, it is the adjuster.  If the cable had taken 
the shape of this and is no longer flexible, I recommend you replace it. 
  It is im****tant that this cable slides easy.

That pin is indeed a rivet.  The new one is needed.
