PARKING
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
The parking brake might need adjustment over time and
after new brake pads have been installed.
NOTE: After installing new brake pads in the calipers, they
must be burnished by driving for a short distance (about 100
feet) with the brake on. To do this, bring the parking brake
lever part-way up while driving in a straight line. This quickly
breaks-in the pads for maximum effectiveness

Check Adjustment
NOTE: Be sure to check the parking brake on both sides of
the unit (Figure 14).
With the parking brake engaged, the spring length should
measure 1 1/2 in. (3.81 cm) between the jam nuts and the
trunnion and the clearance between the return nuts and
trunnion should measure 1/16 to 1/8 in. (1.59 to 3.18 mm). If
either of these measurements is off, adjust the parking brake
appropriately.
Adjust the Parking
Brake
1. Engage the parking brake.
2. Turn the jam nuts clockwise to compress the spring or
counterclockwise
to extend the spring until there is
1-1/2 in. (3.81 cm) clearance between the jam nuts
and trunnion.
3. Tighten jam nuts together.
