I have just purchased a Falcon wagon and the parking brake needs adjusting. It is a set of shoes inside the disk brake. how do they adjust.

Hi there,

take off the wheel and there is a access hole to reach the adjuster, now these are often seized up, so you may have to remove the rotor and sort this out.try the adjuster first.
