w211 parking brake not holding much
hello
is it possible to recalibrate or repair somehow the parking brake on my w211
when I did the brake service I didnt test the parking brakes
I have changed the brake pads for all 4 wheels and brake fluid
like on other cars, for the parking brakes of the w211, is it with a screw and you can tighten up the cable ??
thanks

Adjusting the slag via bolt hole is not the easiest, but it works.
Pelican says to tie it up till rotor stops and then go back 10 notches. I would rather do 5 and recheck it after couple of brake push/release.
