|  Parking break adjustment
I have a 2008 corvette coupe. I would like to know the proper way to tighten the hand brake. I read that by pulling up and releasing the handle for about a dozen pulls self tightens the brake, but the results were not encouraging. Is there another procedure to tighten the e-brake from a cable adjustment at the rotor end? Thanks for any help. | ||||||||||||||||||||

HI there, There is adjusers under each rear brake rotor. The spring tensioner under the level automatically will engage as long as the handle boot doesnt bind underneath. Allthebest, c4c5 | ||||||||||||||||||||
