Today's project - emergency brake

While reading the brake pad and disk replacement instructions I noticed that a properly adjusted hand brake should lock at 4 clicks. Mine goes up about 10 or 11, so if the weather cooperates today I'll adjust the shoes and the linkage in the console. If not, it will go on the list!

If you haven't replaced the shoes you should be able to do everything by adjusting the linkage behind the console under the cubby. The adjustment on the shoes themselves with the toothed gear adjuster is just for when you change shoes. (I believe ) Dealing with the shoes is a pain so I would start with the linkage first
