Re: [DML] parking brake dragging too much?

["Walter Coe" <Whalt@xxxx>]

For those of you who care to know, I posted some questions earlier, but no
one answered them. Since then I have figured out the answer for myself.
This isn't mentioned in any of the manuals, so Wayne, if you are reading
this take notes for your new manuals project.

Yes. When I put on my new parking brake pads, some of them didn't even have
enough room to slip in between the rotor and the caliper. On the front edge
of the assembly there is a large adjustment screw, but at first glance it
doesn't look like an adjustment. It is the large screw that holds the two
halves together at the front. The slot where you stick a screwdriver to
tighten/loosen it is filled in with a cotter pin to stop it from loosening.
So to make this adjustment you will need to remove this cotter pin.
