Actually, adjusting the parking brake cable may be required if it has loosened, has been removed, the brakes changed, etc.
The drum brakes are self-adjusting (after initial installation and adjustment), so if your e-brake handle is not locking properly, it may be the cable which requires adjustment. It's fairly simple, actually. Remove the centre console to expose the full length of the handle. There will be two nuts -- the top nut simply locks the bottom one into place and ensure the setting does not change. Loosen the top nut, then adjust the bottom nut to the point where the brake is fully engaged at seven clicks. Then tighten the top nut down to lock the setting, and re-install the console. |
