Parking Brake System: Adjustments
1.
Apply parking brake with a force of approximately 66 lbs. while counting number of clicks. Lever should pull out 16-17 notches.
2.
If pull stroke is not as specified, loosen cable adjuster to release parking brake cable then depress brake pedal several times to ensure shoe to drum
clearance is properly maintained by self-adjusters.
3.
Tighten adjusting nuts or turnbuckle until brake lever stroke is 16-17 notches with a pulling force of approximately 66 lbs. If adjusting nut is
tightened excessively, self-adjuster mechanism will be inoperative.
4.
After adjustment, ensure that brake equalizer on 1984-86 2 wheel drive models is nearly parallel with centerline of vehicle. On 1984-86 4 wheel
drive models and all 1987 models, ensure equalizer and joint are at right angles to each other.
