1-3-2-4 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I don't have the service manual pdf on this computer but I think the normal range is something like 6-10 clicks? Mine is like 20 clicks and I'm going to be adjusting them soon, I figured with new rotors for the rears that I would not really need adjusting but I guess you do anyways. I haven't seen new shoes for the rear but these look fine, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I needed new shoes a while ago. Someone here posted NAPA. And NAPA appears to be the only choice other than the dealer. Folks do make kits for you to glue new lining on yourself. Sounded like something I didn't need to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaleda Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 looks like you need new pads, why resurface? its only around $30 for both sides new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoupedUpSubie Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I always replace pads/shoes if I am putting new rotors/drums on. It takes care of any odd wearing which could decrease effectiveness or destroy a new rotors. I checked NAPA and they are listed for $35. Worth it to me.

Caboobaroo Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 They look low but if they're adjusted up properly, check the cable adjustment under the center console behind the parking brake cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 I was going to buy new pads but you know listening here people before said you don't need new pads because they don't get used that much and all that. How much thicker do new pads looks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I would check the adjustment first. It is actually 3-6 clicks, but anything in the middle of the stroke is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Should I adjust in the car or at the rotor? I forgot to check the parking handle to see if it was adjusted when I last had the console out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 At the wheel first. I found mine were way out so I actually did the rough adjustment with the rotor off. I adjusted it so I could just get the rotor back on then tweaked it. Then you adjust the cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
