Emergency Brake Adjustment protege 5
Hi all, new to the forum. I have been having issues with adjusting my e-brake. I have adjusted it 5 separate times, and every time I put everything back together, it works once, then comes out of adjustment. Any tips?
Thanks, Vince

Disc, I have took the 14 mm bolt off and adjusted the allen screw and adjusted from the lever.same result . I think an excorsism is what I might try next !
How old is the car?
How long since the brake fluid was changed?
Completely de-adjust the handbrake cable, undo the allen key, unbolt the caliper, fully push in the piston, pump the pedal a little to push the piston out alittle, push in piston fully. Refit caliper, pump pedal 50 times with engine running, wind the Allen key tight.back it off 1/3 turn.make sure disc spins freely. Adjust cable. See if this helps. Other wise calipers need rebuilding.
