Hello all:

I need to adjust the parking brake on my '92 245, but I am finding it to be a bit of a puzzle. A while back I replaced the rear rotors and I had to loosen the cables to get the rotor off. Since then, despite several attempts to adjust the parking brake it hasn't functioned ideally.

There is a confusing arrangement for adjusting the brake, including the big 17mm nut in the center console behind the ashtray, as well as two 10mm nuts at the front near the lever. The 17mm nut never seems to really get tight.

Can anyone explain exactly how a proper adjustment is made so that the parking brake will engage correctly? This is for the late 240, which does not appear to have star adjusters in at the emergency brake shoes, BTW...
