7. Loosen the wheel mounting bolts. The car must stand on its wheels when performing this operation.
8. Place the car on jack stands, unscrew the wheel bolts and remove the rear wheels.
9. Rotate the wheel so that the bolt hole is at an angle of approximately 45° relative to the rear of the vehicle (see illustration).
10. Using a 4.5 mm wide screwdriver, turn gear 1 of the adjuster through the hole for the wheel bolt until the wheel can no longer be turned manually, (see illustration).
Attention! The gear of the adjustment mechanism of the right wheel should be rotated with a screwdriver from front to back, the left wheel - from back to front.
11. Turn the adjusting gear back until the wheel rotates freely.
Remember that the adjusting gears of the right and left wheels should be turned by the same number of teeth, i.e. 5-6.

14. After this, unscrew the equalizer 2 on the end of the parking brake drive cables so that both rear wheels can turn freely (see illustration 8.4).
15. Tighten and release the parking brake lever several times.
The parking brake is adjusted correctly if the force applied to the parking brake lever when moving it to the first tooth of the sector is approximately 110-150 N (11-15 kg).
