[s-cars] Drivetrain R&R finishing up ?'s

[Jim Fleischer]

Hey guys,

So, I've got an airplane mechanic buddy of mine pressing out the old CV and will bang the new one on, and regrease both sides for me for reinstall.  I have replaced the parking brake cables, and now works nice and smooth.  Couple of quick questions before I start putting stuff back together......

How tight should the parking brake be adjusted?  Wondering just how much stretch will go on with the new cables......I have it set at 6 "clicks" of the handbrake lever before it won't go anymore without excessive force.  That okay or should I tighten/loosen up a touch more.  There is no slack currently.

Is there anything else I should do or check on before I start putting everything back on?  Really itching to get this back together.

Thanks!
