Parking Brake Adjustment

[Walter R.]

I had trailing arms professionally rebuilt which includes parking brake as well. I adjusted the drivers side and followed service manual instructions to tighten adjuster by pulling hand from floor to expand adjuster. Everything went well with adjustment. Instructions were to follow this procedure on both driver and passenger sides. I found on passenger side I hand to pull hand to floor to expand that adjuster contrary to service manual. Is this the correct direction for adjustment or is adjuster in backwards. The star adjuster is towards rear of car with longer shaft that is threaded towards front of car.

The RH side, the star wheel points forward. That being the small " bullet" end. The LH side points to the rear. Here are some pictures of some arms I just built to help you.

Thank you. As I thought the adjuster was put in backwards.
