2. Place chocks under the front wheels, then raise the rear of the vehicle and carefully place the jack stands. Then release the handbrake.
3. Remove the ashtray under the back of the console as described in chapter 11.
4. Use a screwdriver to block the compensator pulley from turning through the hole in the lever mounting bracket (pic. 14.4).
5. Working under the car, find the adjusting bushings of the cables - they are located above the exhaust coarse. Access can be improved by removing heat shields (pic. 14.5).
6. Working with the first bushing, remove the retaining ring and turn the bushing counterclockwise until it stops. While doing this, hold the back of the cable with an open-end wrench on the hex nut (pic. 14.6, a, b).
7. Gently slide both pieces of cable together so that any slack is taken up.
8. Turn the adjusting sleeve clockwise so. so that the slot for the retaining ring becomes barely visible. Insert retaining ring.
9. Repeat the steps described in p.p. 6...8, not another adjusting sleeve.
10. Stretch both parts of the adjusting sleeve until there is slack in the cables. Make sure. that the working levers on the calipers are still set to the stops.
11. Working inside the vehicle, remove the screwdriver to release the compensator pulley. Raise and release the handbrake lever at least three times.
12. Under the car, turn the adjusting sleeves so that the gap between the operating levers and the stops is approximately 1 mm (no more than 1.5 mm) (pic. 14.12).
13. Check that in this position of the adjusting bushings, the rubber ring colored seals inside the bushings do not have screws. If this is the case, the cables may be stretched beyond the adjustment limits and the brake pads may wear out quickly.
14. Check handbrake adjustment and repeat procedure if necessary.
15. Adjusting the handbrake (both wheels lock with the same force and are released when the lever is released), lower the vehicle.
