nunu Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Could anyone show me how to adjust the parking brake for my 91 ls400? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tansupplyman Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Should be 5-7 clicks down. Adjust [like most all park brakes] with the adjustment above the driveshaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunu Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 Could you please detail it a little bit more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tansupplyman Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 crawl?? up under the car and tighten up on the nut holding the 2 brake cables(actually one in a loop) to the rear hubs--will be somewhere behind the transmission. Just follow the cables going forward !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachocco1 Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 PARKING BRAKE 1) Count clicks while pulling parking brake lever completely up. If 5-8 clicks are not counted, parking brake requires adjustment. 2) Raise and support vehicle. Remove rear wheels. Remove adjuster hole plug from rear hub. Turn adjuster (expanding parking brake shoes) until rotor binds. Turn adjuster back approximately 8 notches (until disc turns freely). 3) Install adjuster hole plug. Install rear wheels, and lower vehicle. On ES300 model, remove console box. On all other models, remove cup holder. On all models, loosen parking brake lock nut, and turn adjusting nut until parking brake pull lever travel is correct. Tighten lock nut, and install console box (ES300) or cup holder except ES300).

LS/RXKevin Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Wow, Let's check the manual. See attached. From 94 LS shop manual. Brake_adj.doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachocco1 Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 My info is from a 92 manual. I am suprised it is that different. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tansupplyman Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Not sure the '92 manual is for a LS--reference is made for pulling a parking brake that is mounted in the center console; not a foot operated parking brake. Unless the '92 has a handpull brake--which would appear illogicial, but I have never been in a '92--only a '93. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
