On a "hat style" rear brake setup, the parking brake is cable operated and also not connected to the hydraulic brake setup in anyway, other than that they both share the same brake rotor. Even at that, they use different parts of the rotor; the hydraulic brake system uses the disc part of the rotor and the parking brake uses the inside hub as a "drum." In a Bendix or Kelsey-Hayes style drum setup commonly used on older vehicles, like the Nissan Hardbody trucks, the brake shoe adjusment will affect the parking brake adjustment as they both share operation of the brake shoes to accomplish their braking.Mr Mayor wrote:Uh, Parking brake helps keep rear brakes in adjustment, no?

If you need to replace. Try FROZENROTORS but avoid the HAWK pads, too dusty. They were a godsend for my 08
