honda accord 2000
i replaced the rear drums and hardware springs,brake hose on both sides but not the star adjuster now parking brake's not working. where did i go wrong i adjust the brakes but it dont seem to do nothing how far should the staradjuster be out . i check the search engine but nobody seems to know what to do going to bleed the brakes agine to be sure no air in the lines

 

This video should help:

 

thanks man i found that video last nigth going to try that today did not know you had to engage the hand brake then release then go back and adjust the star adjuster

 

You don't adjust emergency brake w/ "star adjuster". Brake shoes are adjusted to just allow drums to be installed. Pressing brake pedal several times will tighten drums w/ self-adjusting mechanism.

E-brake is adjusted from the cabin (shortening/lengthening position of nut on thread adjusting rod to get full brake force w/ 4-7 clicks of ebrake handle. Center console must be removed to access.

You need a manual to help you. automanualsource.com has inexpensive ($22) OEM emanual for your vehicle.

good luck
