Before adjusting the parking brake, ensure that the brake hydraulic system is free of all air and that the rear brakes have been adjusted properly or the parking brake shoes have been adjusted properly. Firmly apply the parking brake lever three to five times. Count how many clicks the brake lever travels before it becomes fully engaged. The correct number is five to six clicks. If the parking brake lever needs more than this number of clicks before it's fully applied, the cable is stretched. If it applies the brakes in less than this number, the cable is too tight. Adjust the parking brake as follows. Remove the center console cover. Back off the locknut, then turn the adjuster nut clockwise to tighten the cable or counterclockwise to loosen it. Pull up on the parking brake lever again and count how many clicks it takes to fully apply the parking brake. Repeat the adjustment procedure if necessary. After the adjustment is made, tighten the locknut against the adjuster nut. If the correct adjustment cannot be achieved, it's possible the cables may be stretched beyond the point of adjustment and in need of replacement; but this condition would be considered rare. Install the center console cover. For removal and installation, remove the center console. Loosen the cable locknut and adjuster nut. Loosen the rear wheel lug nuts, raise the rear of the vehicle and place it securely on jackstands. Remove the rear wheels. Remove the front fuel tank covers. Trace the routing of the rear cables and remove all clamps or clips attaching the cables to the vehicle body or suspension. Disengage the cable from the equalizer, peel back the carpet and remove the two cable clamp nuts right behind the equalizer. Disengage the cable from the rear brake assembly. Detach the cable from the brake backing plate. Installation is the reverse of removal. Make sure that the cables are routed so that they're not kinked and so that nothing interferes with them. Adjust the cables. Install the center console.
