How do you adjust Pontiac Grand Am parking brake?

Answer 1

First, verify that rear brake is adjusted properly.

If drum brake, turn the each adjuster wheel (inside drum at bottom) until brake drags slightly, then back off (reverse direction) three clicks. If adjuster will not turn, repair or replace as needed.

If equipped with rear disc, rear brakes auto adjust unless pads are incorrectly installed or calipers are damaged.

Then, locate parking brake adjuster inline with parking brake cable. Turn adjustment until cable has some but very little tension and is not slack, but not so tight as to apply the brake.
