I did not find a "sticky" for the brake, there are some Youtube's but nothing about how much you can adjust from inside the car, or how to access the adjustment (03 996 manual)

Yes, it can be adjusted from the rearward side if the ebrake handle, there is an adjusting nut and lock nut (10mm iirc) for fine adjustment.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

What would be the normal number of "clicks" that the handbrake should "hold" at? Can it be adjusted from the back of the lever?

POST 2Original post

I don�t recall the spec - it is in the manual. 3-4 clicks? Yes, it can be adjusted from the rearward side if the ebrake handle, there is an adjusting nut and lock nut (10mm iirc) for fine adjustment. Initial/gross adjustment is done at the rear wheels though, by turning the star adjuster wheels through a lug bolt hole in the rotor. I highly recommend digging up the procedure. Let me know if you cannot find it and I�ll try to dig it up. Here is one that I googled up quickly (Pelican articles are usually decent): https://www.pelicanparts.com/techart...Adjustment.htm

I posted an article above that may help. It says two clicks, but I seem to recall more. To access the adjuster, you would have to remove the cover inside the storage bin in the center console. I�ve only adjusted mine with the console out.

From the Bentley (if you don�t have this book, it is a good purchase):

Very helpful posting. I appreciate getting to see into the Bentley manual. I'm sure I'll be picking one up soon. Thank you!
