Good Day,
So I spent about 4 hours yesterday trying to adjust the emergency brake. (for reference, its a 2014 JKUR-X/manual). Removed wheels, calipers (had to disconnect rear sway to get to the lower caliper mounting bolts) and lastly removed rotors. Then used a brake spoon to turn the wheel/gear (driver's side turned clockwise and passenger side counterclockwise). I rotated each gear about 8 turns each, just enough that no friction was found when putting back on the rotors on and spinning them. I reassemble everything and the brake still does not work. Even on a slight incline and the brake all the way up will not hold. So do I try it again, and do more turns or take it to the shop for adjustment? Thanks in advance.
