I adjusted my emergency(parking) break without any help, unfortunately. When you take off the wheel there are two adjustment points. Choose the large slot head screw with rhe cotter pin!! Its a no brainer. Don't plat with the two nut adjustment on the cable! Remove the cotter pin and screwon the slot head screw untill the rotor won't turn. Then back off the screw where the rotor will JUST turn. Mabye not too freely. Then put in the cotter pin or back off the screw untill the cotter pin will fall in the screw head slot. Replace the cotter pin. Both sides, your done. an hour or so. If you touch the brake cable adjustment on the break cable, two nuts on either side of a bracket, and remove the peg on the end of the cable from the arm, DO NOT, (WHEN REPLACING THE NUT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PEG) OVER TIGHTEN THE LOCK NUT!!!!!!!!! IT WILL BREAK OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE PEG!!! And turn a 1 hour job into a 6 hour job. Actually another 10 hour job to fix the peg. Or you could buy a new cable, but that's got to be $100 - $200+ for the part, plus hours to install. DON'T DO IT!!!! The cotter pin - slot screw is simple. Don't take out the end of the cable from the bracket. There is some self-adjusting mechanism in the parking break bracket, but it obvisouly dosen't work, hense the need to adjust the parking break. Mine now holds solidly at about 3 clicks on the parking break. It passed the safety check in Connecticut easily after this ajustment. If you're doing this and need some help, call me at (203) 377-7551 (home). I'm an engineer.
