Parking Brake Adjustment

NOTE: After rear brake caliper servicing, loosen the parking brake adjusting nut, start the engine, and depress the brake pedal several times to set the self-adjusting brake before adjusting the parking brake.

WARNING: Block the front wheels before jacking up the rear of the vehicle.

1. Raise the rear wheels off the ground, and support the vehicle on safety stands.

Parking Brake Cable At Rear Caliper:

2. Make sure the parking brake arm on the rear brake caliper contacts the brake caliper pin.
3. Pull the parking brake lever up one notch.

Pulling Up The Parking Brake Lever:

4. Pull up on the parking brake cover, and remove the cap from the parking brake cable end.

Tightening Adjusting Nut:

5. Tighten the adjusting nut until the rear wheels drag slightly when turned.
6. Release the parking brake lever fully, and check that the rear wheels do not drag when turned. Readjust if necessary.
7. Make sure that the parking brakes are fully applied when the parking brake lever is pulled up fully.
8. Install the cap onto the parking brake cable end, and return the parking brake cover to its original position.
