I think, like me, most are afraid to answer your question. That rod is adjustable, but adjusting it wrong will burn up your brakes. If you are absolutely sure you have no other brake issues, such as worn out linkage, air in the brake system, missing or wrong pedal return spring, or improper shoe adjustment. Here is the deal, that rod will increase your pedal height, but if you adjust it to long you will block the vent in the master cylinder, which will at the very least, keep pressure on your brakes and burn them up. Make sure your pedal returns to it's full height and that rod is not pushing on the master cylinder piston when you are not pushing on the brake pedal.
