QUOTE(sleepwalker @ Dec 15 2006, 11:08 AM) There are 2 locations to adjust the handbrake. The easy way is to tighten the slack at the handbrake itself. However, if this has been maxed out, the other way would be to do it at the brake caliper/drum at the rear. If mechanic say dunno, means he's lazy to do it or dunno how. Either way, find another mechanic. hmm.....i was told that there is no way to adjust handbrake position for cars with ABS. is this true? |

One is hydraulic and the other is cable. thanks.....looks like i'll be sending my car for adjustment soon.when I pull my handbrake now, hear about 8-9 clicks for full brake power. used to be about 6 clicks only. but i heard that the best is like 3 clicks. is this the way to measure? but firstly, i'll be asking the guy to check if my brake pads are ok or not. I remembered changing them (rear) about 6 months ago. |
