QUOTE richee3 already adjusted his cable and still has to pull it up high, so he may just have stretched cables if the brake adjustment doesnt fix it. Could very well be. My car is getting pretty old now. 11 years old, 140k miles. Could be that I need new brakes, could be stretched cables. I know the front pads have been replaced on it at some point, but I'm not sure about the rears. Anyway, can somebody tell me how to adjust the brakes themselves rather than the cable? I hate having to pull my lever up through my moonroof just to set the brake lol. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

Take off the rubber cap. Line up the hole so that it points directly at the floor. Get a flat screwdriver that can fit in the hole but still has a decent sized tip. You'll feel an adjustment screw in there, i don't remember right now if its up or down that you need to go to tighten, but just try to adjust it one way and see you can spin the rotor by hand. If it does not spin anymore, just back out the adjustment til the rotor is free spinning, but not any more than that. And if the rotor still spins when you are adjusting, you're going the wrong way!
