Parking Brakes On Ke70 - Selfadjusting ?

[Tham]

I was wondering if the parking brakes on the

Corolla KE70 are self-adjusting ?

 

Mine don't seem to be, and the local mechanic says no.

 

They've lost their effectiveness these few days, and I

to pull tightly to the last click on slopes.

 

Initially I thought they self-adjust when the car backs

up like in some others, but doesn't seem to be so.

 

I don't think the adjusting star wheel is stuck or something.

The cable is still in quite good condition.

The normal brakes are self-adjusting, but the park brake is not. Tried adjusting the cable inside the cabin at the handbrake lever?

adjust both the brakes from the rear drums and the in cabin cable on the handbrake if if this doesn't work your cables probably extremely stretched. Just grab a tight one from a wrecker.
