How do i adjust the parking brake after replacing the rear brake pads on a 2004 malibu?
Brake Pads May 23rd, 2009After replacing the rear pads and rotors, the wheel won't turn. The parkig brake is too tight.
One answer came close, the brakes are self adjusting. However, during my installation, I failed to screw in the caliper piston and position it correctly. It is supposed to be orientated in a manner that allows the pin on the pad to be in the allotted recess on the piston face. I found this in a chiltons manual.
if you did it right you should have noting to adjust it is self adjusting. As son as you pump the brake pedal a few times the brakes should be ready to go.
How do you release the pressure in the brake lines for changing brake pads?

I'm not sure about that particular model, but you could take a look at this picture for Grand Prix's, and see if it looks similar. Down on the bottom, #6.
