How hard is it to adjust the parking brake?

Answer 1

Not hard at all! First, adjust your rear brakes properly. Once this is done, locate the Emgcy Brake cable (y shaped cable running from front to both rear wheels) There is a turnbuckle on the cable, you simply hold the cable with a wrench and turn the turnbuckle to tighten it up.

Shoot for 4 or 5 clicks (about 30 percent) on the lever before it starts getting *tight*. If you adjust it too tight, it will wear your brakes prematurely and cause your gas mileage to drop-and possibly other bad things.

I'm not a mechanic, but I've done this before some years ago.
