Parking Brake
NOTE:
Before adjusting parking brake, pull parking brake lever until resistance is felt; then 1 additional notch. With parking brake lever engaged as described, drive vehicle a maximum of 1/4 mile. This will scrub rust and corrosion off parking brake drum.
- Raise and support vehicle. Remove tire and wheel, and release parking brake. Insert a screwdriver into rotor inspection hole. Turn adjuster until parking brake shoes lock rotor. Back off adjuster 4-6 notches.
- Working inside driver's compartment, tighten adjustment nuts on lever until parking brake holds vehicle securely before 5th ratchet stop is reached.
