ADJUSTMENT
^ To perform adjustment operations, remove tire from vehicle with a power tool. Using a wheel nut, fix disc to hub preventing it from tilting.





1. Insert a deep-well socket wrench to rotate adjusting nut to loosen cable sufficiently. Then, after releasing parking brake pedal completely, adjust the clearance of rear shoes.





2. Remove adjuster hole plug installed on the disc rotor. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, turn adjuster to clockwise as shown in the figure until adjuster is locked. After locking, turn adjuster to the opposite direction by 5 or 6 notches.
3. Rotate disc rotor to make sure that there is no drag. Then install adjuster hole plug.
4. After adjusting the clearance of rear shoes, with no drag on the rear brake, adjust cable as follows:
a. Operate parking brake pedal 10 or more times with a force of 200 N (20 kg, 45 lbs.).
b. Depress parking brake pedal until a deep-well socket can be inserted. Insert the deep-well socket, and rotate adjusting nut to adjust a pedal stroke to specified notches.

CAUTION: Do not reuse adjusting nut after removing it.

c. After operating parking brake pedal 3 to 4 times with a force of 200 N (20 kg, 45 lbs.), make sure that the parking brake pedal stroke is within the specified number of notches.
d. With parking brake pedal completely returned, make sure that there is no drag on the rear brake.
