With parking brake engaged, spring length should measure
1-5/8 in. (1.14 cm) between jam nuts and trunnion. If the
measurements are not within specifications, adjust the parking
brake.

2. Turn jam nuts until the spring measures 1-5/8 in. (4.14 cm).

NOTE: After installing new brake pads in calipers, they must be
burnished by driving for a short distance (about 100 feet) with the
brake on. To do this, bring parking brake lever part-way up while
