Honda/Acura DIY Parking Brake Adjustment

Honda/Acura DIY Parking Brake Adjustment

This is the proper procedure for adjusting the parking brake on a 2007 Acura RDX and the process is likely similar on many other cars. The pedal was going all the way to the floor rather than stopping at the proper 6-7 clicks.

With the right tools and a little bit of knowledge, it really is a quick and easy job.

To add a bit more fun for you observant viewers, see if you can find the brief moment when our dog makes a subtle appearance. She somehow finds a way to sneak into most of my videos without my knowledge.

This is the proper way to adjust brakes not just tighten up the cable. Good job. Worth noticing that the ratcheting teeth analogue is the same on both sides of car.

Great video! But I have a question. If the car just losing little bit of parking brake, can I just adjust the screw up 3-4 turns? I just want to do the simple adjustment ?

LOL, i just changed my rear rotors and somehow came up with 10 clicks, now I have to slam the pedal to the floor to get the e-brake to hold. Personally I would just eliminate the e-brake entirely but i'll be making the 8 click adjustment soon. Nice vid, thanks.

I've always just thrown in it reverse a few times while babying then fully engaging the parking brake and it seemed to work, but now that I know the right way to do it I wont forgive myself half assing them lol
