Hi everyone
I don't know if I am stupid or what.
I have changed the rear rotors and adjusted the clearance för the shoes but have a very veak paring brake.
When I look in the service manual from GM it says :

"Park Brake Lever Adjustment

Important
Before you adjust the parking brake, verify that the park brake shoes are adjusted to provide a clearance of 0.026 in.


Verify that the self adjuster lock out pin has be removed.
Fully apply and release the park brake lever 3 times"


I can't find the lock out pin.
Does anyone knows were exactly it's supposed to be ?
I thought it should be placed somewere around the lever but I can't find it.

Anyone has any pics ?

By the way it's a 2000 Hoe

IRC, there is a dust boot on the rear backing plates that allows access to the star wheel adjuster that will help you adjust the parking brakes.

BTW thank you for calling it that and not emergency brake.

I have the same problem with my parking brake. 2000 Tahoe. I have changed the rear rotors, new shoes and adjusted the clearance för the shoes but have a very weak parking brake. Parking lever goes all the way to the floor. Adjusted cable all the way. Even put half inch spacer to tighten up cable. Any ideas?
