ADJUSTMENT
See Figures 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
If the rear brakes have been serviced or replaced, start the engine and press the brake pedal several times to adjust the brakes before adjusting the parking brake cable. Incorrectly adjusted rear brakes (disc or drum) will affect the function of the parking brake mechanism.
1. Raise and safely support the vehicle on jackstands.
2. On rear disc brake equipped vehicles, make sure the lever of the rear brake caliper contacts the brake caliper pin.
3. On drum brake equipped vehicles, make sure the rear brakes are properly adjusted.
4. Pull the parking brake lever up 1 notch.
5. Remove the access cover at the rear of the console or remove the rear seat ashtray. On some models, it may be necessary to remove the center console to gain access to the adjusting nut. Tighten the adjusting nut until the rear wheels drag slightly when turned.
6. Release the parking brake lever and check that the rear wheels do not drag when turned. (Don't confuse a light brushing noise with drag; you'll feel the drag.) Readjust if necessary.
7. With the equalizer properly adjusted, the parking brake should be fully applied when the parking brake lever is pulled up 7-11 clicks on 1984-89 Accord and 1984-91 Prelude or 4-8 clicks on 1990-95 Accords and 1992-95 Preludes.
