Did it yesterday, big difference since my e-brake did nothing before. It was so out of adjustment that it never engaged. I found that grabbing the cup holder using a terry cloth made it really easy to pull off.

I did this a while back and tightened it way too tight because there was a slight screeching when driving at slow speeds. I re-adjusted it back to stock and it still squeaks.. But it seems like the rear tires have to do a full rotation, then they squeak.. Full rotation, then they squeak. It's a very faint sound but still there. I hear it when the car is off, e-brake off, and I push the car by hand. Any thoughts?

I really didn't tighten it all that much to get it to work. I get about 6 clicks when I pull the handle and it's engaged. I tested it by putting the car in Neutral and seeing if it would roll freely down the driveway. I'm thinking you overtightened it. If you want a picture of how it looks let me know. Another option to adjust it is removing the rear wheel.

I just did this yesterday, and I recommend starting at the rear wheel to do an e-brake adjustment. You can use a flat head screwdriver to adjust it through a hole in the rear wheel hubs with the e-brake lever down. Tighten the e-brake all the way down until the rotor doesn't move freely, then back it off a couple of clicks so that it does spin freely again. This takes all of the slack out of the line, and you can do further adjustment in the console if necessary.

I attempted to adjust the rear portion of the parking brakes and found that the threads on one side of the adjuster were all stripped I think too much e-brake pulling lol Its part 44200 that you're supposed to spin to adjust and mine just kept spinning.

Although, if you're e-brake pulling for fun, of course it would be fucked. It's not meant for that.

Here's a couple of photos I took from when I adjusted mine.
First pic you can see the rubber stopper. Second pic you can see a couple of parts shown in FireDan's post above. Third pic is a close up of Part 44200. I rotate the wheel hub until the hole is on top between the upper two studs. Use a flat head screwdriver and click up until it the drum tightens. Then click down a few times to back it off.

They were definitely stripped. I pulled the rotor/hub off and actually saw the threads gone on one side of the adjuster. There are two threaded sides which extend/retract depending on direction adjusted. Fortunately my parking brake still works pretty good with the front portion adjusted to match the rear where I adjusted with just one threaded side moving. I'll eventually replace those pieces... about $25 each.

Super easy to replace, just takes a few minutes. Hardest part for me was either getting the stuck rotor off or dealing with the springs that hold it in, but easy job.

Yes I have brought this back to life. Just getting some opinions on my adjustment is all. It does roll easy in neutral when I push it or when going down hill.

Nevermind! Lol
Answered my own question. Driving on the highway and I started to get a lot of vibration in the rear. Figured it had to be the e-brake. Funny thing is that after I stayed on the frontage a while and got back on the highway, the vibration was gone. Took no chances, dialed it back a bit. And I didn't have my tools on hand, I had left them at my storage unit. |
