1979 TransAm Rear disc brakes & parking brake

by Michael McAmis <x@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Aug 13, 2007 at 05:29 PM

I have a 1979 Trans Am with 4-wheel disc brakes.  I've had to replace the 
rear disc calipers and I can't get the parking brakes to work.  Setting
the 
brake pulls the levers on the calipers OK and the return springs go from 
uncompressed to fully compressed (so it's not just a simple matter of 
tightening the cable). The brake sets a bit on on wheel but not at all on 
the other.  I believe that I have the levers set to the correct positon on

the hex nut on the end of the parking brake shaft - I'm not 100% sure here

but it seems like I can't go another step?  The shop manual doesn't give 
any hints on the proper way to set up the parking brakes.  Is there some 
other adjustment?

Thanks, Mike
