    2005 150 trying to adjust parking brake and I can't reach the star wheel with my old brake spoon. Is there a trick to using an old spoon or do i have to buy a new one?

    Appreciate any advice John

    Shouldn't need it adjusted, the brake auto adjusts. If you're having problems with the parking brake pedal going to low, then it would be the cable that needs to be adjusted, not the brake itself.

    I used to use a small hook to hold the adjuster away from the wheel and use a flat screwdriver to turn the wheel. If the wheel is froze up, then you're going to have to pull the rotor/drum off.
