100% what Michael R says above.
Make the tools as shown in the manual and set your control rods to their correct lengths, once done, your brake won't creep. Guarantee it. It's a fiddle to do and for best results you'll need to split the track. Invite a friend round to help, it'll take a couple of hours at least if you've never done it before. Ben |

As per Ben and Michael... I use the adjusting tools (I swear by them) with some pre load on the foot brake links you don't get any creep on with the parking brake... It takes a fair bit of pre load tithe point of using a pry bar as described above.
Do as per the manual and take your time.
