How to adjust ebrake

Postby MakDizzle » Fri Oct 03, 2014 2:22 pm

Is there a diy on how to adjust the ebrake maybe even replace the shoe? My wife drove 15miles with the ebrake on now they don't even hold on my driveway

Check the owners manual but IIRC the parking brake is adjusted automatically when reversing. Try backing up several times somewhere. Although yours may be glazed at this point and would require scuffing or replacement. Download the Brakes section of the FSM for guidance on replacement.

our "on board" service manual outlines the adjustment procedure for the parking brake and the pedal adjustment
