How do I adjust the emergency brake lever or cable tension on a 2000 Chrysler Sebring?
The Emergency brake did not pass safety inspection. I replaced the shoes, (the car is 4 wheel Disc with the minature pads just for the emergency brake)and adjusted the thumbwheel until the pads were just contacting the drums but it will still move at just above idle speed on level ground.
I took the console out to check for the adjuster screw, (according to the Chilton Manual), where the cable attaches to the lever but it does not exist.
There appears to be sort of clock spring that seems to be designed to maintain tension but the one end does not rest against anything it is free moving.
