Parking Brake (Disc): Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 1992 Pontiac Sunbird, 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix, 1992 Pontiac Grand Am, 1992 Pontiac Firebird, and 1992 Pontiac Bonneville. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Brake pads must be new or parallel to within .006" (0.15 mm) thickness of each other. Parking brake adjustment will not be accurate with heavily tapered pads. Parking brake free play adjustment should only be made if caliper has been disassembled. Turning adjustment screw clockwise increases free-travel and counterclockwise decreases free-travel. Free play adjustment will not correct a condition such as levers not returning to their stops.
