ebrake adjustment location?
ok, adjusted the cable last night, it is at max adjustment. I was told I can adjust the ebrake pads on each side, but I cant seem to find the location of the slot to rotate the adjuster? I do see 2 elongate slots, but I can see how I would even get in there with the control arm mount so close.
Any advise? also a pic would be worth 1000 words here.
thanks

I'm at work, so I can't take a picture. I do have the rear wheel off, so if no one else chimes in I can take one when I get home tonight around 6 pm Pacific Time. There should be a hole in the rotor near one of the studs that aligns with a hole in the hub underneath. If your rotor isn't oriented correctly, you might have to pull it off and "re-clock" it, so that the holes are aligned so that you can get to the star adjuster (this would, of course, require removal of the caliper. You access the star wheel from outside of the rotor. The adjuster wheel is in about the 7:00 position. Shine a flashlight in the hole and you should be able to see it.

If I remember correctly you have to pull the rotor to adjust the shoes. I should remember, rebuilt mine a couple months ago. Must be getting CRS disease.
