I have a 2000 Pontiac grand am gt 3.4 auto trans with rear disc brakes how do i adjust the emergy brakes no adjustment under car how is is done?
The emergency brakes are whatever your rear brake pads are.
adjust the shoes
first check your brake fluid it may be low then check the switch at the emergency brake lever it may be stuck
The 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee emergency brake cable has adjustment nuts on each end of the cable. Turn the adjustment nut to lengthen or shorten the cable.
Either your parking brake ( emergency brake ) is on or the brake fluid level in your brake master cylinder in your engine compartment is LOW
1st make sure that the service brakes are adjusted properly Adjustment should either be at the junction of the cables under the vehicle or at the handle itself (may have to remove trim for access) Set to 3 clicks and adjust so wheels are locked at this point
There could be an issue with the anti lock brakes if it equipped with them. It could also be that the brake fluid is low or the switch for the emergency brake is broken.
The emergency or parking brake on 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee operates a set of brake shoes inside a hub on the rear axles, this is incorporated into the disc brake setup.
You will need to remove the tire and wheel from your 1998 Pontiac Grand Am. Remove the brake assembly spring from the brake pads. The brake pads will come off. Reverse the process to install the new brake pads.
The rear brakes of the Caravan are adjusted automatically. Each time you set the emergency brake slack will be taken up. You can speed up this readjustment while parked, engine off, by "pumping" the emergency brake while pulling out the brake release. Adjustment may take some time as the slack takeup is small with each use of the emergency brake. A good habit is to use the emergency brake at least twice a day to avoid a low parking brake pedal.
yes
The minimum thickness of a brake rotor on a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix is 1.25 inches. Below this point, the brakes will be less effective.
