How to Adjust Rear Brakes on a Ford Zx2
- 1). Gently step on the brake pedal with the car turned off. The pedal pressure should be low.
- 2). Turn the vehicle on and put it into "Reverse." Back up slowly and apply the brakes. Brake response should be diminished over normal response time.
- 3). Repeat Step 2. This time, the brake pedal pressure should increase and response time should be improved.
- 4). Put the vehicle into "Drive" or first gear. Drive the vehicle up to 40 mph and apply the brakes. Slow down to 10 mph. Repeat this process two more times to fully adjust the brakes and bed them into the rotor.
