STROKE ADJUSTMENT <Vehicles with rear disc brake>


If the parking brake lever stroke is out of the standard range, adjust as described below:

2.Loosen the adjuster to move it to the cable rod end so that the cable will be free.
3.Raise the vehicle, and remove the rear wheels.

4.Remove the adjustment hole plug of the rear brake disc, and then use a flat-tipped screwdriver to turn the adjuster in the direction of the arrow (the direction which expands the shoe) so that the disc will not rotate.
5.Return the adjuster eight notches in the direction opposite to the direction of the arrow.
6.
caution If the parking brake lever stroke is below the standard value and the braking is too firm, the rear brakes may drag.
Turn the adjuster to adjust the parking brake lever 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.
7.After adjusting the parking brake lever stroke, 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.
