MAINTENANCE
Parking Brake Adjustment
1. Inspect and perform any needed service on the brake pads before
adjusting the parking brake.
2. Position the vehicle on a level surface. Place the transmission in
neutral.
3. Carefully elevate the rear of the vehicle slightly. Use an
appropriate lift.
4. Loosen the jam nut on the parking
brake adjustment bolt.
5. While rotating the rear wheels by
hand, tighten the adjustment bolt until
significant brake drag is detected.
Then back the adjustment bolt out 1/4
turn, or until the wheel freely spins.
6. Hold the adjustment bolt in place and
tighten the jam nut securely against
the lever arm.
7. Check parking brake lever movement. Verify that the rear wheels
rotate freely with the parking brake off (lever in DOWN position)
and that the vehicle will not move when the parking brake is
applied (lever in UP position).
8. Verify that the park brake lever stays in the UP position when the
brake is fully applied.
