HOW DO YOU AJUST THE HANDBRAKE ON A MERCEDES SLK200

If you remove the center console you should be able to get at your adjusting screw. The end of the brake cable where it attaches to the brake handle will usually have a large threaded area for adjustment with an adjustment nut and a jamb nut. Simply loosen the jamb nut and set the desired cable tension with the adjustment nut and tighten the jamb nut back down. Then replace the console. If you are unable to get the desired tension at the cable you might have worn brake shoes that need replacing.

The adjuster is in thee drum/disk rotor, there is no adjustment for the leaver.

How do i adjust my hand brake on a vauxhall insignia year 2010?

remove the rear drums then inspect and manually adjust the shoes auto adjuster ,clean the lip off on the outside of the drum so the shoes just about allow the drum on ,this is the correct way not screw the cable setting up to max ,do it my way and the brake pedal will be hard as you have reduced the reserve travel and the handbrake will have two /three clicks ,when you do this make sure the rear brake shoes which have trhe handbrake lever ,make sure this lever is right back if not slacken the handbrake cable to allow the cable to come back in case some weekend mechanic or a dealer fitter has tightened the cable only ,the former as they dont know and the later because their on bonus payment

should be self ajusting if not there should be a nut conected to the hand breake either remove cowling around hand brake if not i may be underneath the car where hand brake comes out of the floor but most cars now can be ajusted by removing the hand breke trim

hi your handbrake has two ajustment places one is under the handbrake lever the outher one is situated under the car each back wheel has a cable running from it follow this cable and where the two join you will find the ajustment screw and locking nuts please note if after ajusting you still have a problem you will neen a new cable as the old one will have been fully streached

your handbreak connects to the rear breaks follow the cable from your break drum where the 2 meet is the ajustment give it a squart of penertrating oil before ajusting as it has been open to the weather also there is further ajustment where the cable enters the hand break lever good luck ps if this dosent do the trick i suggest you cable is fully streched you will need to fit a new one

tighten the hand brake tensioner
