H1 Parking Brake
Folks,
I found a 2003 H1 that I'm interested in buying. On the test drive I couldn't set the parking brake. It had a lot of resistance to pulling the lever up. I figured either there was a trick I was missing or something was wrong. I have no idea how the knurled knob is used, if it matters. Sorry for being such a noob, but I'd really like to join this unique group. A search didn't find an answer. How does the parking brake work? What should I ask for prior to purchase? Thanks to all. |
The top of the parking brake turns to adjust the tension. Turn counterclockwise just enough until the brake can be applied. It is still requires a fairly firm pull even when properly adjusted. Good luck in your search!

Well since I plan on buying it I'll give it a hearty yank this time. The truck is low mileage. I suspect the parking brake was never used as there is no paint wear on it at all.
Thanks for the reply. |
Thanks for the info. That worked.
Drove it home today. The injection pump looks nice and new. The PMD is right on the side. I suspect the prior owner ate that "fix" for a hot PMD. That's one of the first upgrades, a "cooler" PMD. And locking fuel doors since I live in a neighborhood where Prius is king. |
