Parking Brake - RWD Models W/Rear Disc Brakes: Thunderbird

  1. Apply and release parking brake fully several times. Place transmission in Neutral. Adjustment is made at equalizer, located between left and right rear wheels. Rotate locking lever away from threaded rod. Tensioner spring will take up cable slack and preload cables.
  2. DO NOT pull down on locking lever as it will pull cables down and cause cables to have low tension. Lock tensioner by releasing locking lever. Ensure locking lever is secure by rotating toward threaded rod.
  3. Examine tensioner for remaining cable take up capability. If none is present, check all cables, parking brake control and brackets for possible damage or deflection. Replace damaged components and repeat procedure as necessary.
