Parking Brake Adjustement

[Dr.2K]

Jeff, I can't seem to find the DIY on the FX parking brake adjustment, I know you had written one before but it does not come up searches.

I think we did have a thread, but it was just a screen capture from the FSM.

Here it is again.

Thanks Jeff!

I need to do this as well... It's not holding as well as it used to. Probably pick up some new hardware and pb pads and just replace everything, then adjust.

There is really no need to replace it. I had mine replaced last time after I accidentally drove my car with parking brake on for a few miles. When I removed the old shoe and compared that with a brand new shoe, there was barely any wear, maybe 0.5 mm. Just adjust it will be enough, the shoe has at least 4 mm of abrasive material and it is really hard to wear it out unless you drive with it really tight for many...many miles. And if you really want to replace it and encounter any problem, let me know and I can help..
