Handbrake adjustment
« on: 10 August 2008, 20:31:17 »
Hi all.

A week into owning my '99 2.5 CDX I really like it but I think the handbrake needs adjustment. Four or five clicks up and it doesn't do anything and I have to pull up on it again with lots more force than usual to get it to even think about stopping the car.

Is there anything I should check first before adjusting the handbrake?
How is it adjusted?

I've done a search here but haven't found anything helpful.

Thanks
