  2. Adjust the parking brake if the pedal clicks are not within the specification.
    NOTE:

    Minor parking brake pedal adjustments (1 to 2 clicks) can be made with the adjusting nut (see parking brake minor adjustment). If a larger adjustment is required, follow the major adjustment procedure using the adjuster nut at the parking brake drum (see parking brake major adjustment). After installing new parking brake shoes and/or new brake disc/drum, make sure you drive the vehicle for "break-in" (see PARKING BRAKE SHOE LINING BREAK-IN ).
