Saab 96 - Foot Brake

Foot Brake
1. Jack up the car until two wheels are free from the ground.
2. If there is no separate
opening for adjustment, remove one
wheelbolt and turn the wheel until the hole faces one of the
adjusting screws (two at each front wheel, one at each rear
wheel).
Turn the adjusting screw with a screwdriver until the wheel is
locked. Then unscrew one or more notches until the wheel
is freed.
When all four wheels have been adjusted, check that the brake
pedal play is 5—10mm
VA—Vz in.) otherwise the brakes will
drag when the pedal is released.
If a wheel cannot be locked with the adjusting screw, the brake
linings are badly worn and should be replaced without delay. To
ensure uniform brake power, reline both front wheels or both rear
wheels and never on one side only. When relining, use only Saab
original linings, or linings recommended by SAAB.
