Greetings List,

After a couple of  days on the topic of emergency brake adjustments,
I've learned a couple of things that may help others.  First as Mark
Drillock pointed out, that even though the rear brakes are self
adjusting, they may in fact not be.  This can show up as a need to
adjust the parking brake.  So if your parking brake engagement seems to
need more travel, then consider the self adjustment mechanism is in need
of service or replacement.

Often a parts co will list a hardware kit, springs, washer, retaining
pin & etc.  You can replace the self adjusters, but I have ask for them
specifically, as they don't come with most kits, and yes I have had them
come with a couple of  kits but  it's uncommon.

Sincererly,
