Hi!

I need your help (if you have the knowledge) to adjust the parking brake on my CLK 55 209. I Know you can simply adjust your p-brake by turning the bolt's on the rear... I turned them all the way. But their seems to be no tension.

Is their another place to adjust parking brake on my mercedes?

Thanks! PLEASE REPLY IF YOU KNOW its driving me nuts! and I feel like killing my tranny Each time I go from Parking to D or R

Sounds like the shoes are worn out. A new set runs between $45 and $75 depending on the supplier.

There is a set of small drum brake shoes under the rear brake rotor.

The adjuster works like a drum brake system lengthen or shorten the span.

I rarely use the park brake on any of my Benz, The cable can corrode and seize in snow climates. I would not try to adjust the cables unless they are stretched from daily use.

If the car sits for a long time (year) with the brake on they can freeze as well.

sounds like a bad hydraulic line or caliper but need more diagnosis info.
