LEVER STROKE

When parking brake lever is operated with a force of 196 N (20 kg, 44 lb), check that the stroke is within
the specified number of notches. (Check it by listening and counting the ratchet clicks.)
INSPECT COMPONENTS

Make sure the components are attached properly (check for looseness, backlash, etc.).

Check parking lever assembly for bend, damage and cracks, and replace if necessary.

Check that there is no wear or damage to the cable, and replace if there is.

Inspecting parking brake warning lamp switch is inspected and exchange if there is a faulty.
ADJUSTMENT

To perform adjustment operations, remove tire from the vehicle with power tool.
1. Remove the coin pocket. Insert a deep socket wrench to rotate
adjusting nut (1) and loosen the cable sufficiently. Then, return
the lever.
2. Using wheel nuts, fix the disc rotor to the hub and prevent it from
tilting.
3. Remove adjusting hole plug installed on the disc. Using a flat-
bladed screwdriver, turn the disc in direction “A” as shown in the
figure until the disc is locked. After locking, turn the adjuster in
the opposite direction by 5 or 6 notches.
4. Rotate the disc to make sure there is no drag. Install the adjust-
ing hole plug.
5. Adjust cable as follows:
a. Operate lever 10 or more times with a force of 294 N (30 kg, 66
lb).
b. Rotate adjusting nut with deep socket to adjust lever stroke.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse the adjusting nut after removing it.
c. When parking brake lever is operated with a force of 196 N (20 kg, 44 lb), check that the stroke is within
the specified number of notches. (Check it by listening and counting the ratchet clicks.)
d. With the lever completely returned, make sure there is no drag on the rear brake.Lever stroke : 6 to 7 notches

REMOVAL
WARNING:
Clean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of air borne particles or other mate-
rials.
Be careful of the following:

Remove the disc rotor only with the parking brake lever completely in the returned position.

If disc rotor cannot be removed, remove as follows:
1. Fix the disc rotor in place with wheel nuts and remove disc rotor
plug. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, rotate star wheel on the
adjuster assembly in direction “B” to retract and loosen brake
shoes.
1. Return spring 2. Adjuster assembly 3. Shoe
4. Anti-rattle pin 5. Retainer 6. Anti-rattle spring
7. Toggle lever

PARKING BRAKE SHOE
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Lining Thickness Inspection

Check the thickness of the lining.
Drum Inner Diameter Inspection

Check the inner diameter of the drum.
Other Inspections

Check shoe sliding surface for excessive wear and damage.

Check anti-rattle pin for excessive wear and corrosion.

Check return spring for sagging.

Does the adjustor move smoothly?

Check either visually or with a vernier caliper to see if there is any excessive wear, cracks, or damage
inside the drum.
INSTALLATION
Be careful of the following:

Refer to “Component Parts Location” and apply brake grease to the specified points during assembly.

Orientation of the adjuster is different from left to right. Assemble
the adjuster so that threaded part expands when rotating it in the
direction shown by the arrow.

Collapse the adjuster to assemble

When disassembling the adjuster, apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cupry-
sil) grease or silicone-based grease to the threads.

After replacing brake shoes or disc rotors, or if brakes do not
function well, perform break-in operation as follows.
1. Adjust the parking brake lever stroke to the specified stroke.
2. Perform parking brake break-in (drag run) operation by driving
the vehicle under the following conditions:
3. After break-in operation, check lever stroke of the parking brake. Readjust if it is no longer at the specified
stroke.

To prevent the lining from getting too hot, allow a cool off period of approximately 5 minutes after every
break-in operation.

Do not perform excessive break-in operations, because it may cause uneven or early wear of the lining.Standard
