300D brake adjustment?
Anyone know if or where there is an adjustment for the parking brake on a 92 300D?

usually at the yolk, where the cable y's to the 2 cables to each of the rear wheels? Should be an adjusting nut of some sort...

Simply remove one lug bolt from each rear wheel. Raise rear of car. Rotate each wheel until the adjuster is visible through the open bolt hole. Use a thin screwdriver to turn star adjuster wheel until parking brake shoes contact drum (built-into disc) and stops the road wheel.
On the left side of car...pushing star wheel "UP" tighens the brake on that side. On the right side of the car, pushing the wheel down, tightens the parking brake. There are 15 teeth on the adjuster wheel. Once you have turned the wheel until the road wheel stops spinning, back off the adjuster wheel about five notches Parking brake cables are only adjusted to remove slack in the cable system.
