Pull the rear discs off and inspect the shoes and the internal drum before you adjust it. If the parts are shot, you won't get any improvement by adjusting it, and you MAY get yourself into a situation where the handbrake could lock going down the road. If you don't know the history of the car, it's quite possible that it has been driven with the handbrake on. Taking the disc off isn't particularly difficult.

 

This is what your 348 handbrake assembly looks like.

The adjuster rod is at the top.

Aye, good stuff...but that's a view with the rotor and brake caliper already removed. You can do the adjustment (presuming nothing has rusted shut or failed over time) without removing the rotor/caliper: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=62780


...if desired.

 

Yes, of course. I should have been more specific in my post.

I just had that pic and thought I would post to give him a rough idea of where the adjustment is if he hadnt done it before.

 

You're a good man, Pap! Always cool to show said pics...

Adjust #30 first, then if still needed, adjust #17.

Number 17 is located under the car right ? can it be reached easily?

 

You need to remove the left rear wheel and inner fender liner to get at it.

It is an easy fix....summarized links are here:

I hate where the brake light is positioned. It's invisible behind the steering wheel. When I was a rookie I drove many a time with that sucker engaged. I'm sure I'm not the only one. the

 

I might have done that once or twice .....might explain why I know how or adjust the parking brake shoes crap.....

 

can somebody post a pic of the adjustment mechanism behind that wheelarche?
