Is a paring brake required if the service brakes work proper?
The parking brake on most vehicles uses a cable to operate part of the service brake to prevent the vehicle from moving while parked. In some instances the parking brake cable can stretch/break/freeze and not allow the cable to engage the service brake component (shoe or caliper).Mostly if the parking brake does not work, you can drive the vehicle normally and the brakes work fine. Possibly a parking brake may be partially engaged causing the shoe or pad of one or two wheels to be in contact with the rotor or drum causing drag.

96 Oldsmobile achieva parking brake adjustment?
According to Chilton's car repair manual, the parking brake on the '96 achieva adjusts itself each time you put on the parking brake. When it does not work properly anymore, you have to change the entire cable. I have purchased a cable through my local GM parts dealer but have not yet put the cable on. It looks relative straight forward. A good Chilton's or Haynes repair manual tells alot. Martin Wilson (mcwilson60@knology.net)
