A few months ago I had my rear brake pads changed with a new set. My civic's got rear disc brakes. Bit by bit the hadbrake started to engage at the very top. Now I have to pull it almost all the way up so the car doesn't move. How can I adjust it? I've been told that it is not possible, because the cables will get disattached the next time I pull it. Is that right? If not, how can I soldve the problem?

Thanks!

- Sat Nov 13, 2010 5:08 pm #222779 u have to loosen up the cables all the way an adjust them again . if u over adjust them the hand brake will stop working, that is if all is ok ,calibers and cables.

- Sat Nov 13, 2010 6:38 pm #222788 to adjust the ebrake cables its a 12mm nut. get a deep socket and rachet. You can either remove your Arm rest/armrest delete or take out the rear ash tray on the armrest/armrest delete. from there. there's a 12mm bolt that you can adjust up and down. Factory is 8 clicks when you pull the ebrake up. to top position.

- Thu Nov 18, 2010 3:45 pm #223466 Mine became a real long yank to get it to engage. Garage that does all our family cars tightens them as part of a standard servicing .

Handy to know how it was done though.
