Parking Brake Cable Freeplay Adjustment
-
Inspect and perform any needed service on the brake pads before adjusting parking brake cable freeplay.
-
Make sure the parking brake is NOT set (the lever should be in the DOWN position).
-
Pull the brake cable back to inspect freeplay between the cable end and the caliper bracket. Freeplay should be 1/16" - 1/8" (1.5-3 mm).
-
To adjust freeplay, loosen the jam nut. Turn the in-line adjuster nut outward to decrease freeplay. Turn the adjuster nut inward to increase freeplay.
-
Tighten the jam nut against the adjuster nut.
