2004 Hand Brake Adjustment
I need to adjust the hand brake in a 2004 S60 2.5T AWD. I need to learn how to do it. Can you recommend service references such as a good service manual or links within this forum?
Thanks,
J

I just did it and it was a piece of cake.
Simply pull off the boot behind the hand brake. It's held in with tabs.
Follow the cable to a hex nut and spin it a litle at a time until the hand brake engages at 3-4 clicks.
When I bought my 06 S60 last year the brake went all the way up and I was worried I had to replace the brake shoes in the rotor. Luckily I was able to try this and it worked. Next time I change the rear brak pads I'll be changing out the hand brake shoes as well.
