[@dentpuller4766]

KZbin KZbin. The savior of any extra money you don't want to spend. My 2003 Acura CL 6 speed type s had same exact issue. The KZbin community is the best hands down. Thank you sir

[@Patphenis]

Do you still have that car? Thats badass

[@mcdriver4832]

Great video my sons 06 Acura was way out of adjustment this video save me money. One side was seized up but a lite tap with the flat head took care of that.

[@JohnDoe-uk7jy]

I like how you show your screw ups :)

[@glasser2819]

it's a good way to build report with DIY'ers 🤫

[@Vffr1]

I don't not enjoy seeing anyone get hurt. But the way you hurt finger and the noises you made me LOL. Please find it in your heart to forgive me.

[@CarsNToys]

lol..that's okay

[@Dreccomel193]

I am having the same problem and I was thinking that I would have to replace it entirely. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[@160sura]

Thank you for this video. Adjusted my parking brake for first time!

[@mridgaf9979]

This video helped me out so much and it also saved me money which is always a good thing.

[@hypertrophy07]

You're the man! Thank you for the clear straight to the point video! My car feels like a new car again. At least the parking brake does lol.

[@JLoC.2479]

tried on my 75 yr old mom's 15year old car WORKED IMMEDIATELY I'M A HERO AS WE "SPEAK"

[@westinalps1922]

AYYY my pinkyyy had me cryin laughing lmao

[@ramblinman7153]

I did the same thing to mine...

[@nicolasbarina2877]

We all been there, most of us..

[@bigwavedave2550]

Thank you for posting this, I have the exact same issue on my 4th gen TL. Crazy hand brake points to the moon currently.

[@dentpuller4766]

Yes sir. My ACURA CL. Same issue. Great video

[@czurc3909]

Great explanation of how to do handbrake adjustment..very helpful video.

[@Billothy69]

I had no idea this would be so easy, this is a well done video! I havent tried it yet on my 2003 acura CL type S but I'm sure itll work fine, as my parking brake worked before I replaced my rotors but now it doesnt.

[@CarsNToys]

Glad to help!

[@EmoDKTsuchiya]

This video is EXACTLY what i was looking for. Have had an 08 for 3 years now and the pb has always been sloppy.

[@CarsNToys]

Glad to help

[@gannom]

This is great! I have the exact same car - color and all. Thanks for the clear and concise instructions. If you have any pointers on how to deal with this cracked dashboard that would be great! 😄

[@robertd10481]

Great video!

[@kevinjackson2581]

This video is truly helpful

[@maxdeniel]

Thank you for the video, I just performed a brake shoes replacement and the brake is too high now, I will adjust them tomorrow.

[@CarsNToys]

Glad to help.

[@glasser2819]

you changed the rear parking-only brake shoes?

[@AaronHarkonnen]

I'm just glad that on the 2009 TSX you do not have to adjust the rotor because the brake doesn't go to that it goes to a mechanical part on the caliper making it hydraulic and wire pulled ; you would be surprised though how many people are on the internet think you have to take the whole TSX console off in order to adjust the brake tensioner because I mean it's on some Acura sites and they don't know about the little door in the bottom of the console

[@pvasicc209]

Thank you. Been puttin it off for 5 yrs. Much better now. But of course when ur fixin one issue another arrives. I think the pads are worn, either that or my rear driver rotor are warped. 🤦‍♂️

[@edwardjackson9871]

thanks for the great video. it was really helpful. maybe you could do a vid on how to change the brake shoes of the emergency brakes.

[@CarsNToys]

Thank you. Sure. I'll try to post that soon.

[@victorramirez5170]

Hell yeah, it worked for me. Thanks for the video!!! 🤙🏽

[@jamievandine4197]

Exact video I was looking for!! Thank u!!

[@blaknoizee]

This helped more than Accord videos. I wish you owned an 03-07 Accord. So I could have a better video of rear brake assistance or brake cable replacement.

[@sonnybee8271]

good ,except the hand brake light stays on ,goes of in warm weather?

[@TojiZenin3956]

Thank you soo much for such a concise and explanatory video.

[@CarsNToys]

You're very welcome!

[@tonylam9548]

You mean back off the adjuster 8 clicks, not 8 turns. If I push the rubber plug in, I use a needle nose plier, worked for me before. The very reason for the existence of that star wheel (which you have to back off 8 clicks) is the brakes to be self adjusting. Most vehicles go through the life of the brake shoe without adjustment. The need for adjustment means Honda screwed the design somehow.

[@UbaldoD-bx1ip]

there is a way to grab that plug using a 90' angle needle nose pliers and no need to remove the rotor. good video

[@ArcoLicious]

Literally a life saver thank you

[@CarsNToys]

Happy to help.

[@pkbrett6511]

Thanks an excellent video , most helpful.

[@chrisancrum8088]

Thanks for such a detailed video. Great camera views and all. I'm wondering if this would be correct for my 2012 TL? I have a manual transmission, and my car rolls on the slightest hill when in neutral, even with the e-brake all the way up.

[@miguelp2952]

What position is the E-brake supposed to be in when you adjust from the rotor? One click up also?

[@isaiahredmond2890]

Did you ever find out? I'm wondering this also

[@Jusznani]

I think he said to put in all the way down

[@Corkoth55]

This is a great video! i have a 2012 TL and i think i only need a couple clicks. it's not pointing at the sky like yours was, so i'll try the minor adjustment. thank you!

[@VictorCastillo-jc5to]

THANK YOU, GOOD EXPLANATION

[@CarsNToys]

Glad to help!

[@michaelaj257]

You are awesome and thank you for your help

[@Charkatak]

Hey, on my RL, it is a foot parking brake and it seems that adjustment bolt is near the pedal. Do you know if adjusting that is all it takes or I would need to do any adjustment in the rear as well?

[@jimmclaughlin8759]

Great video

[@Bull1the1Great]

very well explained

[@jasonbrussmn]

Thank you!

[@TheGeekazoid]

Lol the bloopers with the pinky and the rubber plug us mechanics know your pain....

[@Tebaz8584]

6/8/22 03 honda accord ex 115000 miles. Parking brake dragging being released. Lever at the center control was loose all the to about the 6-8 click position after someone not familiar with the car engaged the e-brake too high or aggressively. Just trying to see whats the temporary fix till i order caliper slide pins and boots to not have this issue in a couple thousand miles

[@johnmontana18]

Very helpful

[@makmool1]

God bless you man

[@CarsNToys]

Thank you. Hope this video helped!

[@AxG180]

My problem is drag on the driver rear whee

[@hawaiianboiii5020]

Do i leave the hand brake down while im adjusting it?

[@magicmaker15]

Is the handle itself spring loaded to return to the resting position when not engaged?

[@JokersSsmile]

great it helped me , Thanx

[@justice4all32]

Would your parking brake come on if it is lose?

[@ferdiebiojon8761]

Nice really informative...

[@ssj4david]

I have a 2010 Acura TSX with the mAnual transmission. Would the steps be the same?

[@kahvac]

I have a 2006 TSX Manual transmission but my emergency brake is nothing like his. I have disk brakes and not drum brakes for the emergency brakes.

[@mediakingltd5538]

I have changed break adjuster but I want to check whether it is a hand break cable problem or something else plz help thanks.

[@rubentrim2653]

My car only makes 3 clicks and if you pull harder it goes all the way back but there's no resistance at that point, any ideas?

[@saad.485]

On my brother's 2015 kia rio when you try to engage the handbrake it doesn't engage, and the release button is not clickable anymore, any idea how we can fix it?

[@koreymayo8884]

What about with rear disk brakes?

[@Cord6mt]

Good job thank you

[@singhbassan7492]

I just bought this Honda Accord 57 plate, there is no reversing Sensors please tell me how I can fit, or are they missing?

[@qutubashraf1214]

Poor Pinky Poor Grommet victim of Good Tutor.Thanks Guy.

[@SleptOnKing]

I don't see a driver side bolt, and then when I took off the driver side wheel I see the spring but not that pin. But the car has a passenger bolt and passenger wheel have a pin. It's an 08 acura tl

[@judiisl9157]

Thank you, I just wanted to know how to remove the hand brake cover because I accidentally dropped all my credit and debit cards in the little surrounding the brake lever.

[@mrjason9382]

Thanks for shareing

[@TheD3m1G0D]

I've got a 2008 Subaru Impreza manual and the handbrake light comes on randomly while driving. The handbrake is adjusted correctly, I checked the connection under the center console and it seems to be working correctly. Any suggestions?

[@eaglestrike598]

Thanks

[@mediakingltd5538]

My car hand break when pulled becomes a bit loose and doesn't work the it should and a sound from break drum is produces and I feel hand break is not applied correctly

[@javybusa]

Thanks for the video. I tried it. Now I got new rear rotors and calipers, (the pb worked fine before changing the rotors) installed them and did both minor and major fixes and still nothing. On the rotors I push down and counted the clicks but after 8 clicks it will not go no more on both sides. What should I do? The shoes have barely any wear. Plz help!

[@javybusa]

I got it. I was going the wrong way!

[@keyandaneshmand9915]

Thanks sir

[@ravinkasra]

What did you do with The handbrake? Why did you screw it?

[@gregtaylor6064]

Great video. I am having the same issues where my hand brake requires adjusting. However, I have pulled it up so high too many times that the hand brake will not release. Release button is now stuck. Do I need to replace the hand brake?

[@juniorsmokes8573]

What did you do to fix it?

[@Prime0025]

Interested to know as well

[@Deathmonkeyx3]

With the flat head are you tapping or turning it? Asking for an 04 Acura TL

[@Deathmonkeyx3]

And is this the same to do for the manual version?

[@supreme_8086]

Are you able to figure out a p2610 code on 08 Acura TL?

[@MrJub07]

I pushed the teeth back 8 times after completely locking the wheels but it was too much for me, it didn't even tighten more the handbrake so I had to roll it more

[@CarsNToys]

Appreciate the feedback.

[@ramblinman7153]

So you pushed less than 8 clicks? I have the same problem.

[@ramblinman7153]

So I rotated the star wheel on both sides until the rotor wouldn't move any more. Then I rotated it back eight clicks. The hand brake still goes too high. Doesn't seem like it made much of a difference.

[@angelveloz6782]

I also have a Acura TL my VSA & my ABS sign came on any tips ?

[@CarsNToys]

Plug in a scan tool and see what pops up. This is a good inexpensive one that reads engine and abs codes...kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWWYpnSAfMeMZq8

[@scav9306]

My handbrake is too stiff. Do you know anyway i could fix it and make it lighter ? Like legit i can barely lift it to 5 clicks.

[@isaiahmonk8148]

Do the opposite

[@behindscythe]

mine does not engage at all even after it pulled my car rolls down the hill (it is a stick shift)

[@judiisl9157]

The little slant opening surrounding the brake lever

[@jamesballard3676]

[@jamesfriesen9633]

Ayecarumba!

[@kubricksghost6058]

Funny guy love it

[@kubricksghost6058]

AYYYYy my pinky

[@WolfmanZX]

You DON'T need those 2 screws on the rotor. That's just to hold the stupid thing when the car is being assembled

[@josephbonica5332]

oops at 7:44

[@jimmclaughlin8759]

[@jessemartinez6781]
