parking brake adjustment question

[Mik660]

hey gang
Ok so my 2002 mp5 w/ a stick is at the max end of the parking brake adjustment screw in the center consul and it won't stop it from rolling .... any other secondary adjustments i can do to reset the system? the calipers and pads are all recently replaced but its finally reached the i gotta do something stage

thx as always!

there is a 14mm bolt on the back of each caliper concealing a hex key adjuster. There is also a 10mm nut for adjusting cable slack on the handle itself.

yeah i got those hex/allen ones in the calipers about 1/2 turn out from locking the pads to the rotor, the 10mm in the brake handle is completely tightened down and no joy -

thx

Your cables may have stretched or your self adjusters may not be adjusting...

If there's extra travel in the brake pedal, then your adjusters probably aren't adjusting.
