Re: [FWDLK] Parking Brake Adjustment



Larry,

 

It’s not hard. They have a star wheel just like all the Mopar brakes in the late 60s. The procedure is in the Shop Manual, in the Brakes section. When I have them apart, I usually place a film of grease on the threaded section of the star wheel and on the adjusting sleeve so they don’t rust up tight a few years later.

 

If the linings are worn out, you can have new linings bonded on you old shoes by any competent brake re-lining service. Just make sure they use the proper thickness material (5/32 inch).

Is there an easy way to adjust the parking brake on a 60 Chrysler (has the integrated transmission parking brake)?  Mine has newer shoes (which are hard to find - does anyone have any sources?), but need adjusted.

Thanks,

Larry (Akron)
