Post subject:  2012 Jeep Liberty: Parking Brake Adjustment
I've read a few of the different threads here by doing a 'search' and so far, I am a little confused as to the information posted. Some say that you can remove some slack and increase tension on the parking park cable by accessing it by way of the console. Others say that it can't be done there at all, and can only be done at the rear wheels.

Does anyone have pictures or a link of the actual process to tighten the parking brake shoes on a 2012 Jeep Liberty KK? Seems that most links end up taking me to information on another Jeep model, not a Liberty KK.

Starting with the two photos below, what are the proper steps to adjust the rear parking brake shoes?

Thank you very much. JeepLibertyKK

If the brakes are not already out as far as they can go(ie rubbing). Then behind the hub is a rubber plug, remove it to gain access to the star wheel adjuster inside.
Use a flat bladed screw driver to rotate the wheel one click at a time. Rotating the hub as you go and listen for rubbing. When it rubs, back it off a little.
Just make sure you do not go too much, or the shoe will rub too much and heat things up.

I had the hand brake recall (H28) done on my rig, and now it is not working again.
Time for me to bend the tab a little under the console...
If you do any work under the console, disconnect the Neg (-) battery cable first and wait 10 minutes.
The main airbag controller is under there. If you touch it wrong you can set off your airbags!
