How do you adjust the emergency brake cable on a 2005 kia spectra5?

I'm just a backyard mechanic with no service manual, but figure any workable answer is better than no answer. I just replaced the rear pads on my 2004.5 to find the caliper would not clear the new pads, and the pistons would not retract with a "C" clamp. Removing the emergency brake cable from the rear brake cylinder didn't help. The caliper pistons are threaded and can be turned clockwise to loosen, or CCW to tighten. Look at the four notches on the piston. (after you have removed the wheel and caliper) I did not find another adjuster, and didn't look very hard as everything worked out great once I backed out the pistons for a little clearance. Hope this helps someone, Steve B

How do you adjust emergency cable in 2004 ford f250 supper cab?
good question. you do not adjust cable on emergency brake in 2004 f250. the emergency brakes are drum type brakes inside the rear brake disk on each wheel.if you know how o adjust drum brakes it is the same adjustment for emergency brake on this vehicle. on the back of the drum there is a small rubber cap. remove this cap and with a flat screwdriver or adjuster tool, you turn the the serated wheel inside the brake drum to adjust the brake shoes out till nearly touching the brake drum it is best to do this with the rear wheels jacked up off the ground, so you can spin the wheel while adjusting. by spinning wheel you will feel when brake shoe is starting to slow wheel and you will then know to stop adjusting. do this on both wheels if you over adjust you will burn brakes out and have to replace brake shoes. this is a pain as you have to remove the disk brake caliper and rotoar to get at the emergency brake
