I started to get this annoying grinding/metal scraping noise from the right rear wheel a couple of days ago. For sure I thought I had to redo the brakes as the noise first shows up in the mornings when I back out of the garage. Today I noticed that the noise didn' t start up right away when I went to pick up the daily newspaper and so I lightly pulled up the parking brake. Next thing I know the noise disappeared and never came back the rest of the way into work. Is this just a simple parking break adjustment?

 

If it is a parking brake adjustment that is needed, it is quite simple. Unsnap the e brake boot inside the car expose the nut. To loosen it, make the screw coming out of the nut shorter, to tighten the brake make it longer.

 

Good stuff! Thank you!

 

i think u should check your pads first, just to be sure.. when my rear pads were finished i had that noise and it went away for a while, i still went ahead and checked it and sure enough it was the pads that were almost done.....just my $0.02

 

sounds like your inner shoes are worn
