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
