Checking and Adjusting the Parking Brake
1) To Check the parking brake place drive the vehicle up a slope roughly 20 degrees. Engage the parking brake.
The handle should click no more than 3 times and the brake should hold the vehicle.
2) Locate the parking brake adjustment nut (1) on the rear differential.
2) Loosen the lock nut (1) and then tighten the bot (2) to adjust the parking brake. Turn the bolt
until it touches, then back it of ¼ turn.
3) If the vehicle can be held on the slope after the above adjustment but the handle goes
through multiple clicks the cable length needs adjusted. Look inside the driver’s side wheel
well and locate the adjustment point. Slide back the rubber cover to expose the adjustment
nuts.
4) Adjust the nuts until the extra travel in the handle is eliminated.
