Hey guys,

Could anyone tell me the easiest way to tighten my ebake? I've had the dealer do it a few times but it always loosens up and the car creeks as it slowly eases up. It's annoying. Plus, I can't snow slide worth a damn with no ebrake.. lol

Thanks!

 

Normal travel of our ebrakes is 3 to 5 clicks.

loosen the nut on the adjuster rod until its at the end of the threads,careful the nut is plastic!

have the rear of the car lifted enough for the wheels to clear the ground, Now rotate the wheel by hand, to feel and listen for the amount of drag,if any

tighten the nut on the parking brake until there is no slack and then tighten in small amounts while referring to the parking brake lever on the rear calipers. When one of the levers is just off its stop on the caliper body, stop tightening the adjuster nut.

Now loosen the adjuster nut just enough for the lever to touch its stop,then loosen the nut one full turn.

apply and release the parking lever 3 clicks and check the wheels for movement,it should move but with some difficulty.

lift the lever one more click and the wheels should be locked.

 

Yeah, even with the **** yanked all the way up it still slips.. I mean, I use mine all the time on our stupid western PA hills, but still..

 

too much work...

just take off the parking brake cover, then tighten the nut, i believe its a 10mm, not sure

but just tighten it, then test it to see if if feels good/works for you

 

Just right under the console? I can do that easily..

 

yea, u pop off 1 panel, and then slide the parking brake handle off

 

This is the factory adjustment process.....

 

does the driving in reverse and using the brakes work on our cars? cuz thats what iv always heard to adjust it w out much work lol

 

i know, but tightening the small nut until you are comfortable works too

 

just another reason for the nickname stealership
