Parking Brake Adjustment...

Whats the proper way to adjust the parking brake, I think mine is sticking a little. The back wheels seem to have a little to much drag, and where is the adjustment made, at the wheels or at the handle inside the car?

pull the handle all the way up. you will see a hole for a phillips on the stick.

i think this is in the manual, not sure though.

When I did my brake job I noticed a hole in the rear rotor. Through there is a adjustment similiar to one on old drum brakes. I adjusted it so there was slight drag and the lever in the car was much better. To back it out I would think you could pull the rotor and pull up that lever and turn the wheel the opposite way till there is less drag.

By the way, you tighten it by rotating the wheel, DOWN with a flat blade screwdriver.

Okay, I am a bit confused. What wheel needs to be rotated?

I have a stretched parking brake and want to tighten it a bit.

Thanks for your help!
