Default Re: Emergency Break Not Holding Truck?
Darn, I'm sorry I looked back at your post and see you have a 2007 Tundra. I left my first post up as it would pertain to any Tundra with Drum brakes.
But the theory here is still the same. You have a small set of brake shoes in side the rotor hub. If you pull the rear wheel there is likely an adjustment access hole in the center of the hub. If not it's on the back. You will want to adjust up these shoes the same way, minimum clearance with no drag. Then adjust the slack adjuster if needed.
The thing to always remember when adjusting any park brake is adjust at the wheels first then adjust out slack if needed.
