Minor and major hand brake adjustments performed for a 2006 Acura TL. Ultimately, minor adjustments are made if you need to 'tighten' the hand brake 1-3 clicks. Otherwise, a major adjustment is required. I'll show you how to perform both!

@Dreccomel193 5 лет назад

I am having the same problem and I was thinking that I would have to replace it entirely. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

@Billothy69 4 года назад

I had no idea this would be so easy, this is a well done video! I havent tried it yet on my 2003 acura CL type S but I'm sure itll work fine, as my parking brake worked before I replaced my rotors but now it doesnt.

@CarsNToys 4 года назад

Glad to help!

@chrisancrum8088 2 месяца назад

Thanks for such a detailed video. Great camera views and all. I'm wondering if this would be correct for my 2012 TL? I have a manual transmission, and my car rolls on the slightest hill when in neutral, even with the e-brake all the way up.

@edwardjackson9871 4 года назад

thanks for the great video. it was really helpful. maybe you could do a vid on how to change the brake shoes of the emergency brakes.

@CarsNToys 4 года назад

Thank you. Sure. I'll try to post that soon.

@AaronHarkonnen 3 года назад

I'm just glad that on the 2009 TSX you do not have to adjust the rotor because the brake doesn't go to that it goes to a mechanical part on the caliper making it hydraulic and wire pulled ; you would be surprised though how many people are on the internet think you have to take the whole TSX console off in order to adjust the brake tensioner because I mean it's on some Acura sites and they don't know about the little door in the bottom of the console

@maxdeniel 4 года назад

Thank you for the video, I just performed a brake shoes replacement and the brake is too high now, I will adjust them tomorrow.

@CarsNToys 4 года назад

Glad to help.

@glasser2819 4 года назад

you changed the rear parking-only brake shoes?

@sonnybee8271 2 года назад

good ,except the hand brake light stays on ,goes of in warm weather?

@kevinjackson2581 3 года назад

This video is truly helpful

@Corkoth55 4 года назад

This is a great video! i have a 2012 TL and i think i only need a couple clicks. it's not pointing at the sky like yours was, so i'll try the minor adjustment. thank you!

@UbaldoD-bx1ip 5 месяцев назад

there is a way to grab that plug using a 90' angle needle nose pliers and no need to remove the rotor. good video

@blaknoizee 5 лет назад

This helped more than Accord videos. I wish you owned an 03-07 Accord. So I could have a better video of rear brake assistance or brake cable replacement.

@tonylam9548 Год назад

You mean back off the adjuster 8 clicks, not 8 turns. If I push the rubber plug in, I use a needle nose plier, worked for me before. The very reason for the existence of that star wheel (which you have to back off 8 clicks) is the brakes to be self adjusting. Most vehicles go through the life of the brake shoe without adjustment. The need for adjustment means Honda screwed the design somehow.

@victorramirez5170 3 года назад

Hell yeah, it worked for me. Thanks for the video!!! 🤙🏽

@ducle3549 Год назад

I don't see a driver side bolt, and then when I took off the driver side wheel I see the spring but not that pin. But the car has a passenger bolt and passenger wheel have a pin. It's an 08 acura tl

@miguelp2952 5 лет назад

What position is the E-brake supposed to be in when you adjust from the rotor? One click up also?

@isaiahredmond2890 3 года назад

Did you ever find out? I'm wondering this also

@Jusznani 2 года назад

@Tebaz8584 2 года назад

6/8/22 03 honda accord ex 115000 miles. Parking brake dragging being released. Lever at the center control was loose all the to about the 6-8 click position after someone not familiar with the car engaged the e-brake too high or aggressively. Just trying to see whats the temporary fix till i order caliper slide pins and boots to not have this issue in a couple thousand miles

@rubentrim2653 4 года назад

My car only makes 3 clicks and if you pull harder it goes all the way back but there's no resistance at that point, any ideas?

@Charkatak 3 года назад

Hey, on my RL, it is a foot parking brake and it seems that adjustment bolt is near the pedal. Do you know if adjusting that is all it takes or I would need to do any adjustment in the rear as well?

@pkbrett6511 2 года назад

Thanks an excellent video , most helpful.

@judiisl9157 2 года назад

Thank you, I just wanted to know how to remove the hand brake cover because I accidentally dropped all my credit and debit cards in the little surrounding the brake lever.

@mediakingltd5538 3 года назад

Is the handle itself spring loaded to return to the resting position when not engaged?

@singhbassan7492 4 года назад

@TheD3m1G0D 5 лет назад

I've got a 2008 Subaru Impreza manual and the handbrake light comes on randomly while driving. The handbrake is adjusted correctly, I checked the connection under the center console and it seems to be working correctly. Any suggestions?

@eaglestrike598 2 года назад

Thanks

@ramblinman7153 3 года назад

So I rotated the star wheel on both sides until the rotor wouldn't move any more. Then I rotated it back eight clicks. The hand brake still goes too high. Doesn't seem like it made much of a difference.

@MrJub07 4 года назад

I pushed the teeth back 8 times after completely locking the wheels but it was too much for me, it didn't even tighten more the handbrake so I had to roll it more

@CarsNToys 4 года назад

Appreciate the feedback.

@ramblinman7153 3 года назад

So you pushed less than 8 clicks? I have the same problem.

@ravinkasra 4 года назад

What did you do with The handbrake? Why did you screw it?

@javybusa 5 лет назад

Thanks for the video. I tried it. Now I got new rear rotors and calipers, (the pb worked fine before changing the rotors) installed them and did both minor and major fixes and still nothing. On the rotors I push down and counted the clicks but after 8 clicks it will not go no more on both sides. What should I do? The shoes have barely any wear. Plz help!

@javybusa 5 лет назад

I got it. I was going the wrong way!

Are you able to figure out a p2610 code on 08 Acura TL?

@gregtaylor6064 3 года назад

Great video. I am having the same issues where my hand brake requires adjusting. However, I have pulled it up so high too many times that the hand brake will not release. Release button is now stuck. Do I need to replace the hand brake?

@juniorsmokes8573 Год назад

What did you do to fix it?

@Prime0025 4 месяца назад

Interested to know as well

@scav9306 3 года назад

My handbrake is too stiff. Do you know anyway i could fix it and make it lighter ? Like legit i can barely lift it to 5 clicks.

@isaiahmonk8148 3 года назад

Do the opposite

@edensnicolas9593 4 года назад

Is the parking brake up one click when doing the major or is it down?.

@isaiahmonk8148 3 года назад

I also need to know this

@Deathmonkeyx3 3 года назад

With the flat head are you tapping or turning it? Asking for an 04 Acura TL

Plug in a scan tool and see what pops up. This is a good inexpensive one that reads engine and abs codes...ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K45uAJGbY0M.html
