PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
1. Inspect and perform any needed
service on the brake pads before
adjusting the parking brake.
2. Position the vehicle on a level
surface. Place the transmission in
neutral.
3. Carefully elevate the rear of the
vehicle slightly. Use an appropriate
lift.
4. Loosen the jam nut
q
on the parking brake cable sleeve.
5. While rotating the rear wheels by hand, turn the adjustment nut
w
counterclockwise until significant brake drag is detected. Then turn the
adjustment nut in 1/4 turn.
6. Hold the parking brake cable sleeve and adjustment nut in place and tighten
the jam nut securely against the lever arm.
7. Check parking brake lever movement. Verify that the rear wheels rotate
freely with the parking brake off (lever in DOWN position) and that the vehicle
will not move when the parking brake is applied (lever in UP position).
8. Verify that the park brake lever stays in the UP position when the brake is
fully applied.
