How to adjust your parking brake

[K-Roll302]

Strange... Were you articulating or moving there levers on the calipers when it popped?
I've moved mine back and forth a bunch in trying to trouble shoot this and didn't notice anything.

Please update us on what the dealer says if you take it.

Mine didn't budge at all from what we could see. I'll absolutely keep you all posted on what the dealer says. I should hopefully hear back sometime tomorrow.

Is there a spring on the lever under the boot? Or should be if not

The problem is with both rear calipers in my case, and I snapped the passenger side cable. All are being replaced to the tune of around $800. Thankfully I saved the original cables, so the original passenger is going back in.

Sorry to hear.

What was wrong with both calipers?

Yeah, thanks for the update.
I'm also very curious to hear if they're able to tell you what was wrong with the calipers.

In my case, I've ruled just about everything else out and just placed an order for new calipers. I'll throw those at it and see what happens.

I'll let you all know tomorrow once I've picked the car up.

So the sliding portion of the caliper was replaced along with the passenger side cable. I was told that when the brakes were replaced, the pistons weren't correctly replaced. From that, I assume constant use of the parking brake with this in mind led to my issue. My parking brake works like new now too!

Reviving this because…..parking breaks….I love this forum. Last time I took my vehicle to the dealership. QuickJack’s,
a few turns with a 10 mm ratcheting wrench, and 10 minutes later it is fixed. Pic showing the location for the other people who have been getting the “service AdvanceTrac” and other warnings from this poorly designed component.
