Hello & Welcome to JA,

 

Park Brake Cable Service/Adjustment

Notice: Parking brake adjustment is not necessary. This is a self adjusting system and damage may result from attempting to adjust or modify this system in any way. It may be necessary to adjust the rear brakes to obtain the proper tension in the system.


    Object Number: 169062  Size: SH

  1. Fully apply and release the hand brake 4-6 times in order to self adjust.
  2. The parking brake is self adjusting.
