Parking brake adjusting
Just replaced the rear brakes/rotors...
Now the parking brake is just barely working. My question is, are the parking brakes self adjusting or do I need to remove the wheel and adjust them manualy?

Since the rear brakes are disc, so I'd say it's not self-adjusting. There should be a screw somewhere on the parking brake cable that needs to be rotated. I'll have to double check.

You have to remove the rear wheels to adjust it. On the front of the rotor will be a rubber grommet about 1/2 in diameter (with a slot in the middle). You must have both back wheels off the ground. Secure it with Jackstand. You will have to rotate it to the six oclock position. Using a flat head screw driver. You stick it in the hole and adjust the star. Adjust the star in the up position to tighten all the way and then back off by 3 sweeps. I hope that helps.
