Parking brake adjustment...

JAYNO20 · 03-03-2013, 03:30 PM

I just installed 15mm spacers front and rear and while doing the rears I had to back off the parking brake adjuster in the back to get the rotor off while following this how to:

H&R TRAK+ DRS 20mm Rear Wheel Spacer Install

Now my ebrake doesn't hold too tight and I am wondering if just tightening the cable under the cupholder will be ok or if I need to mess with the actual adjuster in the rear rotor again. I looked all over and couldn't find anything saying for sure either way. Any help would be appreciated.

anyone?

you can probably adjust enough by the cupholder...

Yeah that's what I was hoping.. I just don't know if one side of the rears is adjusted tighter than the other side at the actual caliper or not. Not sure if that would cause a problem by adjusting it only at the cupholder...

Sounds like one wheel like you said is righter than the other. I would adjust the starwheel so that you dont wear out one side before the other.

If both are out by the same amount then tightening in the center console would work.
