2.Loosen the adjuster to
move it to the cable rod end so that the cable will be
free. 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 |
If the pedal stroke stops
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 |
If the parking brake lever
stroke is below the standard value
and the braking is too firm, the rear brakes may
drag.

stroke to the standard value. After
adjusting, check that there is no space between the adjuster
and the parking brake lever. Check
that the adjuster is secured with the adjuster holder.

jack up the rear end of the vehicle,
and then release the parking brake and turn the rear wheels
to check that the rear brakes are not
dragging. 8.Install the rear floor console
assembly (Refer to GROUP 52A - Rear Floor
