the arrow (the direction which expands the shoe) until
the disc cannot be rotated by both hands.
Return the adjuster five notches in the direction opposite
to the direction of the arrow. (Reference: shoe clearance
on one side 0.19 mm)
(3) Turn the adjusting nut to adjust the parking brake lever
stroke to the standard value. After adjusting, check that
there is no space between the adjusting nut and the

If the parking brake lever stroke is below the standard
value and the braking is too firm, the rear brakes
may drag.

the rear of the vehicle. Release the parking brake and
turn the rear wheels to check that the rear brakes are
not dragging.
