Legacy777 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Is the handle being pulled up real high? You probably need to adjust the drum brake portion of the parking brake. There are little adjusters you can get to on the rear of the brake backing plate on the rear brakes. There should be a plug there. If you remove this, you can use a screwdriver to turn that so it moves the pads closer to the drum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 What he said. The cables do not stretch much on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
