I recently replaced the rear rotors and pads on my 07 sonata. I manually backed off the star wheels for the parking brake shoes prior to installing the new rotors. I'm not sure if there is an automatic adjustment to readjust the parking brake as I am not able to get it readjusted automatically by applying and releasing the parking brake handle. Please help with the proper parking brake readjustment procedure.
