2.Loosen the self-locking
nut to the end of the cable rod in order to allow slack in
the
cables. 3.Turn the ignition switch to "ON"
position, and start the engine. 4.Repeatedly
depress the brake pedal until the pedal stroke no longer
changes with the
engine running.
note |

changing, the automatic-adjustment mechanism is
functioning
normally, and the clearance between the shoe and
drum is correct
|
5.Turn the ignition switch to "OFF" position,
and stop the engine. 6.
caution |
Be careful that the parking
brake lever notch number
should be within the standard range. If the
notch number is too low, rear brake dragging can
be caused.

standard value by turning the self-locking
nut. After adjustment, check that there is no free play
between the self-locking nut and the
parking brake lever. 7.After the parking brake
lever stroke is adjusted, raise the rear of the vehicle.
Release
the parking brake, and turn the rear wheels to confirm that
the rear brakes are not dragging.
