Parking brake adjustment

The parking brake is adjusted if, when pressing the pedal, the number of clicks before the brake is applied differs by more than two from the nominal value (7 clicks). On fig. 260 shows the location of the parking brake actuator on the basis of the body.

Basic adjustment

The main adjustment is carried out, for example, after replacing the parking brake cable or replacing the rear suspension.

Adjusting bolt (6) completely unscrew from the adjusting rod. The spacers in the rear brakes must be unloaded.

Adjust the parking brake pads as indicated in section "Additional adjustment".

Screw in the adjusting bolt until the pedal moves three or four teeth of the ratchet.

Additional adjustment

Loosen one wheel bolt each on the left and right sides.

Put the car on stands.

Rotate the wheel so that the hole from which the bolt was removed is at a 45°angle at the top front as shown in fig. 261.



Insert into the one shown in fig. 261 hole screwdriver and turn the adjusting nut until the wheel is completely braked. Then loosen the adjusting nut by 2... 3 teeth until the wheel rotates freely. When adjusting, move the screwdriver in the following order:

• On the left side from bottom to top;
• On the right side from top to bottom.

After adjusting the parking brake pedal, press until it moves one tooth, in this position the brake pads should move apart slightly.
