Parking break has gotten soft recently. It still works, but I have to pull the lever ever higher.

Anyway, I followed the Rave manual and climbed underneath to adjust the tensioner at the drum. I craned it tight, then loosened it 1 and 1/2 turns as per procedure. That didn't seem to help.

I then went to Phase 2 and removed the console switches.

The manual tells me to look for an adjustment screw to tighten the cable.

I can see the cable and where it passes through a metal thingie of some sort, and there's a rubber "cone" at the top...but I don't see anyway to adjust it.


There should be something obvious there, but I don't see it.

Anyone have a picture or can give better instructions than the manual?

Thanks.

 

I'm having this same problem and I guess no one resolved it, any help?

 

bump.....

 

Well now my parking brake handle itself seems to be broken. The spring seems to be missing or worn down. When I press the button down it wont come back up.
