How do you adjust a parking brake on a 2002 Chevrolet trailblazer?

Answer 1

gm sais to pull up the hand brake cover next to the seat, pull up on the hand brake, finger the micro adjuster trigger...HOWEVER. i don't think that does squat.

you'll need to pull the rear wheel, remove 4 bolts to remove the calipers, pull off the rotor, and you'll now see the drum contraption.

use a tooth brush to brush away the rust powder, just for the fun of it...and turn the 1/2" dial until the shoe ring begins to spread.

the reason for the problem is that the steel cable stretches. bicycles have the same problem with the brakes and gears. at least they have an expanstion adjuster that is easy to access.

GM doesn't build for the DIY. they build to getitout and provide for their dealer who make big bucks on stupid fixes that DIY should be doing.

CAN ANYONE SAY....foriegn ownership of this country ??? a few execs will make money, but every one else will be exporting American labor to foreign cartels; because the local philosophy is getitout and provide a racket for our partners.
