thx in advance
upon noticing a burning smell from my rear wheel wells, i realized that something is up with my parking brake - it seems not to be releasing properly when disengaged. The lever has much more play at the bottom range of its movement, ie it floats completely loose for the first 3-4" of handle movement before you feel the cable resistance. before this problem it was maybe 1-2" of movement before resistance. and when you can finally feel the cable pulling, it is much softer and more loose feeling. basically it feels like something is sticking when the mechanism is disengaged, and it is not disengaging completely. i just now busted out the FSM (hey it's been raining all day, i wouldn't have gone out to play with it anyway)... is this something that would be alleviated by the adjustment procedure described therein? i hope so, i really dont need the damn hassle. on my birthday no less. well that was yesterday. must be a present from the car gods. thanks a lot, car gods.
