Adjusting Park Brake

This question has probably been asked a few times. How do you adjust the park brake on a 2000 911 Carrera?

Thanks Loren!!!

I too need a small adjustment to the p-brake. My question is: In the link that Loren sent, its not clear where the turnbuckle resides. My guess is that its under the brake lever itself (the first picture) but I don't see instructions to get to it.

Any ideas?

Thanks

It adjusts just like old drum brakes did (the parking brake IS a drum brake on the inside of the rear rotor hub).

There are brake tools for this but I just use a large blade screwdriver - works fine.

Hi Loren:

I was wondering about how to get to the adjustment at the handbrake itself, the first of the adjustment points, but thanks for the info on how to adjust it at the rear wheels. Very clear.

I've got quite a bit of slack and I think that adjusting the turnbuckle would be the first place to start.

I have updated the tutorial to include the handle check.
