Recently I used the parking brake on my 2002 C230 Sport Coupe. The pedal went all the way to the floor and would not hold the car on a slight incline. I rarely use the brake so was surprised that it was so weak. I took it to the dealer thinking that the adjustment might be under warrantee. NOPE! They looked at the shoes and said they were in good shape. They told me that they would need to adjust the cable and the only way to do it was to remove the driveshaft (2.6 hours of labor) !!!!!! I told them NO.

Is there an alternative way to make this adjustment. Having a non functioning parking/emergency brake is not in my best interests.

Appreciate any help that you can give me.
