RE: [DML] Parking Brakes

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Andy, The parking brake pads are self adjusting somewhat. If you will take
the carter pin out that holds the long bolt in and pull on the brakes a few
times the pads will tighten in. Then put the carter pin back. That keeps the
bolt head from turning. If any questions feel free to call.

Steve,

are you sure BOTH cables are adjusted properly?  maybe only one cable is
getting tight.  something is wrong because my parking brake works perfectly
even on a 35 deg or so incline (i put it in reverse too, just in case)
