|
2.Loosen the adjusting nut
to the end of the cable rod in order to allow slack in the
cables. 3.Check that the parking brake lever on
the caliper side is touching the parking brake
lever bracket.
note |
If the parking brake lever is
not touching the parking brake lever bracket,
the parking
brake cable might be stuck or routed
incorrectly, or there might be a problem with
the automatic
adjustment mechanism inside the rear brake
calipers. Therefore, it is necessary to check
the
parking brake cable and to disassemble and
inspect the rear brake calipers.
|
4.Depress the brake pedal repeatedly until
the brake pedal has no change in its stroke.
note |
Depressing the brake pedal
repeatedly adjusts pad clearance
correctly.
|
5.
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.
|
Adjust the parking brake lever stroke to the
standard value by turning the adjusting nut.
After adjustment, check that there is no free play between
the adjusting nut and the parking
brake lever. 6.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.
