my e-brake doesnt seem to work. i pulled the cover that goes over the cables that go into the firewall to the brakes. they seem a little slack....is there any way to tighten them up, or should i just expect the worst: that the rear brakes are bad? also, I'm not driving the car really yet....whats an easy way to see if the rear brakes work correctly in my driveway? thanks!

The adjustment is an allen-screw -inside- the caliper. The "nut" you see on the outside is the dust cover for the adjustment.
There is a hole through the trailing arm that allows you to get at it with the car assembled. There are adjustments for the cable slack, and the venting clearance. The Haynes manual describes both. If you just got the car, it very likely that both adjustments are wrong, but the calipers are probably OK. |
