Compliments to Evil-Twin
When I installed the new rotors, I went ahead and did the Parking
Brake Adjustment Tech-tip submitted my Evil-Twin. It was kind of a pain
adjusting the Star Adjuster, but it was probably the angle headed pliers I
was using! But getting to the point, this mod was well worth the time!!!
My parking brake NOW acts like a parking brake!! It only travels about
half as far up as it did, and it Holds like it should!
You guys that are replacing your rotors in the near future, take the time
to do this. Might as well, the adjuster is staring you in the face! You'll
be glad you did!!
Thanks Bill for taking the time to submit the tip!!
(but don't let it go to your head...

As many people as he's helped out, if his head isn't too big to get in his car by now, it never will be!

Seriously though, Vetteran thanks for the tip. I've read ET's Tech-tip on that but forgot all about it. I will be installing my new Eradispeeds soon and will adjust the ebrake while I am at it.
Almost forgot, your car looks awesome.

Use a flat blade screw driver one click at a time.. click it until you can not get the rotor on, do three clicks at a time then try the rotor... you should find a place where the rotor will not go over the shoes, then back off one click and try again, then back off and try a second time.. you should be one click light of not getting the rotor on.. my ebrake lever is locked up at 40 degrees from horizontal, my ebrake is completely disengaged at 30 degrees. Thanks for all the love.... :o
