5. Release parking brake and check for rear wheel drag.
Parking Brake Lever Clearance
6. If rear wheel brake drag is noted after adjustment the rear drums must be removed after the service and parking brakes have been adjusted. Check
the clearance between the parking brake lever and the cam plate. The clearance should be 0.38mm (0.015 inch) with the brakes fully released. If
the clearance is not within specifications, readjust the parking brake cable.
NOTE: The tension limiter will reset the parking brake tension anytime the system is disconnected provided the distance between the bracket and
the cinch strap hook is reduced during adjustment. When the cinch strap hook contacts the bracket, the system tension will increase significantly
and over tensioning may result. If all available adjustment travel has been used, the tension limiter must be replaced.
7. Place the parking brake pedal in the fully released position, then check the slack in the parking brake two rear cables.
The cables should be tight enough to provide full application of the rear brake shoes, when the parking brake lever or foot pedal is placed in the
fully applied position, yet loose enough to ensure complete release of the brake shoes when the lever is in the released position.
