Emergency brake Cable

Featured Replies

How do you ajust the emergency brake cable on a 99 Forester? I need to remove the slack. When the handle is pulled all the way up I don't get much braking.

If it's an L model with Rear drum brakes, I would ensure the self adjuster are working correctly.

 

If it is an S model with rear disks, they use a seperate small brake shoe in the center for the emergency brake. If all the above are working properly then the attached .pdf file shows how to adjust the lever/cable.

Ferret, could you please repost the pdf file. When I open it all I get is jibberish. Thanks

Your browser isn't setup correctly. Right click and save the file, then open it from your PC.

Has this attachment been removed? I don't see any kind of link for it anywhere.

 

Thanks!
