Parking Brake Inspection and Adjustment
Inspection
1. Press the parking brake pedal (A) with 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lbf) of force to fully apply the parking brake. The parking brake pedal should be locked
within the specified number of clicks (B).
2. Adjust the parking brake if the pedal clicks are not within the specification.
NOTE: Minor parking brake pedal adjustments (1 to 2 clicks) can be made with the adjusting nut. If a larger adjustment is required, follow the
major adjustment procedure using the adjuster at the parking brake drum.
After installing new parking brake shoes and/or new brake disc/drum, make sure you drive the vehicle for "break-in".
Minor Adjustment
1. Raise the rear of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations.
2. Release the parking brake pedal fully.
3. Press the parking brake pedal (A) 1 click.
4. Tighten the adjusting nut (A) until the parking brakes drag slightly when the rear wheels are turned.
5. Release the parking brake pedal fully, and check that the parking brakes do not drag when the rear wheels are turned. Re-adjust if necessary.
