Parking Brake Shoe Adjustment

1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
3. Remove the brake adjusting hole cover from the backing plate.
4. Turn the brake adjuster screw to expand the parking brake shoe and linings until they drag against the drum-in-hat rotor.
5. Back off the brake adjuster screw until no drag is evident.

Using Brake Adjustment Gauge (D81L-1103-A), or equivalent, measure inside diameter of drum portion of rear disc brake rotor. Using parking brake adjuster screw, adjust parking brake shoe and lining until they drag against parking brake drum. On all other models, adjust parking brake shoe and lining to 0.020" (0.508 mm) less than drum measurement.
