Hey everbody... My husband is working on my Tahoe 2003. God love him... Does anyone have any information on how to reset the emergency brake.

I'm not sure what you mean by "reset the mergency brake"? Is the brake too loose or too tight? There is usually an adjuster in the cable to take up/loosen up the brake. What's the symptoms?

Thanks for your reply. The major symptom is no parking brake. There's something in the part itself that needs adjustment. I believe the part to be the brake disc. I'm not too savy. Just doing the legwork er I mean surf work.

Chaz called Auto Aone and they said it shows the diagram so I hope to go there today and get it so he can see what to do. Chilton books are so lame. We found a book for mechanics they use at the garage. $141.00 at www.helminc.com... He wants one for all our vehicles Yoweee!!! He has a 2005 SSR you never know when it will need it.

Thanks again

The park brake adjustment is made back at the rear disc/drum, there is an adjuster nut that needs to be turned until the park brake shoes just barely make contact with the drum.

I should add also that once the shoes are adjusted you need to adjust the park brake pedal by setting the park brake pedal and releasing it at least 3 times.

Thank you for the information.
