Parking Brake

NOTE: When rear drum brakes are serviced, the parking brake linkage cable at the equalizer must always be readjusted to prevent possible burn out of rear brakes.
  1. Lubricate parking brake linkage at equalizer and cable stud, and ensure free movement of cables. Apply parking brake pedal exactly 3 clicks.
  2. Raise and support vehicle. Tighten adjuster until the right rear wheel can just be turned rearward with two hands but cannot be turned forward.
  3. Release parking brake. Wheels should turn freely in either direction without drag.
