of the pull handle is as specified
(see illustration).
Make sure that the
brake balancer is nearly parallel with the center line of the vehicle.
4 On 4WD models, turn the nuts on the equalizer end of the cables.
Make sure the equalizer is maintained at a go-degree angle to the joint as
the nuts are tightened
(see illustration).
5 Remove all slack from the parking brake cables. After adjustment ap-
ply the parking brake several times and check that handle travel is 4 to 6
clicks on lever-type parking brakes or 16 to 17 clicks on umbrella-type
models. Make sure the rear brakes don’t drag when the parking brake is
released. Check to see that the parking brake light on the dash glows
when the handle is applied.
6 Lower the vehicle and verify that the parking brake will hold the ve-
hicle on a moderate incline. If it still won’t keep the vehicle from rolling, in-
spect the rear brakes as described in Chapter 1.
