The first step is to remove the tire. The rear brake drum will have what is known as a self-adjusting screw. This may need to be adjusted to pull the drum off, once you have the tire removed.
Typically integral parking brakes are on rear disc braking systems. By activating the parking brake it adjusts the discs on the rear brakes. While the front discs are self adjusting, on the integral systems the rear discs are not self adjusting, thus the need for the integral parking brake system.
They are self adjusting but if you want to speed up the process, you can back the car up and pump the brake; each time you apply the brake in reverse it helps to adjust the rear brakes.
your e brake cable needs adjusting.
I think the '99 is like my '98, if so the answer is yes. The rear disk has a drum style brake system inside the back side of the rotor for the parking brake. There is a self adjuster, and a hole for the adjusting tool to go through to 'adjust' (usually just to loosen the pads so you can remove the rotor) the pads, similar to a standard drum brake.
They do. Every time you back up and step on the brake, it activates the self adjuster. It has it's limitations. If you don't know how to manually adjust your drum brakes, have your mechanic do it for you. If you feel your brake pedal is mushy or you have to push it almost to the floor, it may mean your rear drums need adjusting.
well the rear brakes assuming that they are drums, are self adjusting, if they are not adjusting properly change the springs and the self adjusting cams could be seized up, kia calls them rear brake strut assembly
If they are drum brakes then yes they are self adjusting, But they never adjust themselves right. You will need to adjust them. If they are discs brakes then there is no adjustment. ( replace pads)
Nothing, they rub slightly at all times. There are no return springs like a drum brake. Self adjusting.
Yes they are. Every time you back up and step on the brake, it activates the self adjustment. It has its limitations. Drum brakes can also be manually adjusted. If you notice you have to apply more pressure to your brake pedal your drum brakes may need to be adjusted. If you are not sure how, consult your favorite mechanic.
Parking brake cable? Connect to the cable from the opposite side and the emergency brake cable from the control inside the cab. Self-adjusting cable? Connects to the "star wheel" and the brake shoe return spring inside the drum
there is self adjusting mechinsms in the drums. Just keep them lubed(ani-seize)
