95 Pathfinder - How do i adjust the Parking brake?

Nov 17, 2007 1 Replies

Its a 5spd with rear calipers (and the crazy little drums for the pk brake). The parking brake handle is almost all the way to the top and its not holding the car. Is there an adjustment or should i pull the rear rotors and check those silly little shoes?



Thanks

There's an access hole on the inboard side of each "drum". Pull the rubber grommet out and insert a small flat bladed screwdriver. The adjuster has teeth on it. Rotate it "down" to expand the shoes. Do this with the parking brake disengaged. Make sure the shoes aren't "dragging" after you adjust.
