Parking Brake Sucks?

spearfish25 · 12-18-2009, 05:01 PM

Looking at the service manual, the parking brake warning indicator should illuminate when you pull the lever just ONE notch. I have to go about 4 before my light comes on. So, I definitely need an adjustment.

Rep points waiting for the first person to post a nice DIY with pictures for adjusting the parking brake

And straight away entries while dragging it down an outer clip.
