5 жыл бұрын

Minor and major hand brake adjustments performed for a 2006 Acura TL. Ultimately, minor adjustments are made if you need to 'tighten' the hand brake 1-3 clicks. Otherwise, a major adjustment is required. I'll show you how to perform both!

@AaronHarkonnen 3 жыл бұрын

I'm just glad that on the 2009 TSX you do not have to adjust the rotor because the brake doesn't go to that it goes to a mechanical part on the caliper making it hydraulic and wire pulled ; you would be surprised though how many people are on the internet think you have to take the whole TSX console off in order to adjust the brake tensioner because I mean it's on some Acura sites and they don't know about the little door in the bottom of the console

6/8/22 03 honda accord ex 115000 miles. Parking brake dragging being released. Lever at the center control was loose all the to about the 6-8 click position after someone not familiar with the car engaged the e-brake too high or aggressively. Just trying to see whats the temporary fix till i order caliper slide pins and boots to not have this issue in a couple thousand miles

Thanks for the video. I tried it. Now I got new rear rotors and calipers, (the pb worked fine before changing the rotors) installed them and did both minor and major fixes and still nothing. On the rotors I push down and counted the clicks but after 8 clicks it will not go no more on both sides. What should I do? The shoes have barely any wear. Plz help!

@tonylam9548 8 ай бұрын

You mean back off the adjuster 8 clicks, not 8 turns. If I push the rubber plug in, I use a needle nose plier, worked for me before. The very reason for the existence of that star wheel (which you have to back off 8 clicks) is the brakes to be self adjusting. Most vehicles go through the life of the brake shoe without adjustment. The need for adjustment means Honda screwed the design somehow.

So I rotated the star wheel on both sides until the rotor wouldn't move any more. Then I rotated it back eight clicks. The hand brake still goes too high. Doesn't seem like it made much of a difference.
