W220 S500 park brake adjuster

[djw]

Hi,

Recently bought a 2000 S500 which has had new discs/pads all round and rear park brake shoes fitted but I have no park brake, the pedal goes all the way to the floor. I've checked the rear shoes and adjustment all ok and the cable pulls the adjuster at the rear forward . Is there any way to manually adjust the park brake as there seems to be some sort of ratchet system or should this be automatic when the park brake is applied

cheers

Sorry only just seen this, you need to totally de-adjust the park brake adjuster which is normally under the rear seat, then adjust the new parking brake shoes through the hole in the rear drums after which the automatic adjuster should operate correctly.

Cheers will try this at the weekend thanks for advice
