Jeep Cherokee handbrake adjustment

Model: Jeep Cherokee XJ, MK 2 - Years 1984-2001
Part: Parking brake

After several years of use, it's quite normal for the handbrake of the Jeep Cherokee XJ to start loosening its grip, due to the brake shoes that tend to stretch the pull cables, causing the lever travel to increase. The handbrake adjustment is done through the register located under the car floor, which is located at the seat of the handbrake lever; Therefore, to perform the adjustment, you will need to: lift the car and adjust the floor nut. Once the nut is adjusted, the brake should be much harder. It's necessary to adjust the handbrake to avoid problems.
