Hey All,
I was wondering if anyone has attempted the adjustment on the JK parking brake as outline on several of the other forums? And if they have it they would be willing to give some pointers, as this is something that I want to do myself (I am assuming that it will happen again).
Mine is getting worse, so much so that a dirty look will cause the thing to roll backwards with the brake on ALL the way to the top.
Any info would be great!!
Thanks!

It's a non-event really. Just like adjusting drum brakes. You will need:
- to jack up the rear and remove the tires
-remove the rubber access grommet
-get a brake spoon from PA or Crap tire(like $5)
-small flat-blade screwdriver
-adjust the star-wheel
I just did one on a JK last month and took a whopping half-hour. I'm just giving you some "Coles notes" on the actual procedure but it is pretty easy.
PM me and maybe I can give you a hand(after the weekend that is)
