Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. 2004 Stratus R/T, changed rear rotors and pads, but the parking brake pads are rubbing inside the drum. The parking brake also does not hold the car at all when engaged.

How do you adjust it?

Thanks...

 

80 views and no one knows how to adjust a parking brake on these cars? Anyone have a .pdf I can look at or a link to the service manual? TIA...

 

I'm pretty sure on these there is an adjustment at the base of the lever. if you look down through the boot you should see it. There may be one under the vehicle too..not sure on the stratus. just look underneith and you'll see the cable.

 

The adjuster is right by the lever, unfortunately you'll have to remove the console to get to it. It's pretty simple to do but plan on an hour or so from start to finish

 

How did you get the brake pads in the front off. the caliper is giving me fits!!!!
