Question

Technician A says that if the parking brake cable is adjusted too tight, the rear brakes may drag and overheat. Technician B says that the parking brake is adjusted properly if the cable is tight when in the released position. Which technician is correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

Technician B.

Explanation:

Technician B says right that the parking brake is adjusted properly if the cable is tight when in the released position. Full engagement should take place near or less than half the parking brake's travel. If the parking brake travels more than half the distance, it could be too loose. If the parking brake fully engages in less than 1/4 travel it could be too tight. so too tight or too loose is not good for parking brake.
