problems parking brake, cadillac calipers
 
hi all,
last winter i do the brake upgrade on my 1979 Camino from drum brakes on the rear end to disc brakes.
i ask many peoples for detailed instructions for adjusting and set up the parking brake.
the calipers are from a 1985 cadillac seville / eldorado
i can not find in any manual a simply description for adjusting the parking brake.
please tell me the tricks for this stuff :hail:

The caliper self-adjusts when you apply the parking brake. If the parking brake is not applied for a long time, not only will it go out of adjustment, but the adjuster inside the caliper can sometimes get stuck and never adjust again. The result is a low brake pedal that get's worse and worse.

I dont have my copy in front of me right now, but you could stop at different parts stores and see if they have these calipers on the shelf. Sometimes the rebuilt stuff will have an instruction sheet inside and maybe they will copy it for you.
