I'm told it is how the parking brake adjusts itself when the pads get
worn. The parking brake lever pulls a cable which actuates the rear
brake calipers. Discovered the special tool after battling the rear
brakes on my wife's Jetta. I borrowed the special tool from the local
O'Reilly or Pep Boys.
If I remember correctly, I had to use the brakes a couple times before
the parking brake worked again.
