Simple question. I've been looking at the brake diagram for my 93 EG and can't figure out how to adjust my parking brake. I have to pull the handle pretty far up to get it engaged. How do I take up the slack on the brake?

disk or drums

 

Sorry, forgot about that. They're discs.

Is it as simple as twisting some sort of wire stoppper?

I've tried searching, but I never have luck with results on this forum.

 

well I dont no if you did this but if you lift up the arm rest in the middle of the car (where the hand brake is at) and where the hand brake wire bo0lts up adjust that nut and bolt ( I could send pics but im a work now let me no if you need them)

 

I haven't looked around there yet. Just at diagrams from a manual. Thanks, I'll check it out when I get home.

 

or on my EK I put disk brake my self and I adjusted them but with no luck they still would not hold the car on down hills. so What I did was I drilled new holes to get rid of some of the slake on the hand brake line I could post up picks so you no what im talking bout.

 

let me no what works out for you. and did they come on the car or did you put them on your self.

 

Pics would be great, thanks.


I have a 93 Si hatch. They came with the car.

 

Remove the ash tray from the the center console(the one for the back seats). If you look in the hole you will see a nut (12mm) tighten that nut. You have probably stretched the cable. do not over tighten this, after every 5 rotations pull the brake to check for tension.It click 5-8 times before it tops out. You will need a deep 12mm and a extension. Let me know if you need pics

 

would this work on a 94 del sol also?
