I have searched the threads in great detail and this problem seems to not be there. My daughter just purchased her first car, a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am SE, 4 cyl. 5 speed tranny. We have repaired or serviced all regular needs to have a baseline, but I am having a problem with the parking brake. Problem: When I step on parking brake, it ratchets and goes to the floor with some tension, but does not arrest the rear brakes. A. I view under the rear axle while she applies P brake and I do have movement of both brake cables, but not enough to stop the car B. I removed both rear drums and attempted to adjust rear drums, but even one click applies too much pressure on the shoes to replace drums, so I returned the adjuster back to where it was C. There is no adjusting nut on the rear P brake cable (no yoke) and no adjustment in the pedal assy. D. The pedal assy appears to be working correctly and no visible broken parts. I have googled and searched for this issue and cannot find a resolution. I have ordered both Haynes and Chiltons from Amazon, but there not here yet and I am hesitant to let her drive it without the ability to park it safely. Is there another place to adjust the cable (like under drivers rocker carpet)? I am stuck without the manual and the GM dealer wants $38-76 to look at it. Help!!
