Default Parking Brake Adjustment (Rear Drums)

Hello all,

1994 Accord with rear drum brakes.

Got my front (discs) and rear (drums) cleaned and lubricated. The tech "tightened" up the parking brake. When I pull on it, it takes a bit of effort and only clicks once or twice. Is this normal? I cannot remember the last time I got these serviced. Brakes work great btw.

Thanks,

i know there's a spec. on this adjustment in the service manual... it's different for different models but i'm pretty sure i remember it being 7-10 'clicks,' not two. maybe someone with a manul handy can confirm this spec.

I'm pretty sure that proper adjustment is two clicks and that the car doesn't roll.

drum brakes around 4-6 i believe, and disc is around 8-12 i think. but it should be more than two. not that big of a deal, guy made a simple mistake, that parking brake adjustment star just needs to be turned on the brake setup.
