How To: Parking Brake Adjustment
«

I'm one of those OCD people that use my parking brake every time I park. Needless to say, overtime the E-brake has loosened up a lot....and there was a lot more travel in the handle then there used to be.
Intelligently, Honda made an access panel to adjust the E-brake on our center consoles.
Tools Needed
Flashlight
Philips screw driver
12mm socket with extension
Step 1: Locate and remove the Philips screw on both sides of the rear center console holding the access panel in place.
Step 2: Gently remove the cover with your fingers. There are two plastic clips at the top
Rear console with cover removed
Step 3: Get your flashlight and look inside the bottom of the console. You will see a nut between to cables. This is the nut that adjusts the tension of your E-brake. Tighten this nut until your E-brake takes about 7 clicks (rear disc brakes) or 5 clicks (rear drum brakes) to be fully locked. You
can
over-tighten this nut and it
will
cause your rear brakes to rub while you drive.
Step 4: Turn on your ignition and make sure your brake light goes on and off normally on your dash.
Step 5: Replace the console cover.

Can some one do me a favor? Can you check your rear brake pads and see how much clearance there is between your pad and rotors with the E-brake off?
Thanks!
