Default RE: Parking Brake adjustment

hey buddy, i had the same problem on my MX-6 LS. if you jack up the back of the car and take off the rear wheels you can easily access both calipers. now look on the back side of the caliper and find where your parking brake cable goes to the caliper, you should see two bolt heads of the same size one of which is holding in the cable or something like that, the other will be by its self doing nothing, well take that bolt out and it should reveal an Allen head type screw and that is the adjustment that moves your caliper piston, there fore adjusting your parking brake. move the rotor and make sure it does not drag too much or too little. good luck
