Hi Rod Normally rear disc brakes are self adjustable.
To fit pads you normally have to release hand brake adjuster completely. You then wind the piston fully in and fit pads. reconnect hand brake cable (if removed). Then pump brake pedal several times until it becomes firm (brakes now adjusted) you then readjust hand brake (normally 5 to 6 notches). Wheels should spin on 0- on 1-2 should just slightly turn 3 'possible' movement 5-6 locked. Note these numbers are only guides. Hope this is some help Good luck
Hi Arthur I am assuming the cruise is a standard cruise chassis. The hand brake is self adjusting there is no actual adjustment for the handbrake. It is normal for the hand brake lever to be high however, of course there is high or really high. If your lever is abnormally high and not holding the vehicle when lever is fully up something is wrong either the self adjusters are not working or brakes or cables have worn or stretched. Good luck
hi, it all depends on what make and type of vehicle as there are many varieties of hand brake cable set-ups. what is it you wish to adjust brake on? Paul.
Id be inclined to adjust the rear brake shoes How high do you have to lift the hand brake lever?Some service centres/mechanics adjust the hand brake cable and not the shoes as they should because its easier and quicker Its a short cut !!
