Yeah, and for years, you've been the only one claiming this.  No one on
this list in the past decade has ever agreed with you on this, but you
can go ahead adjusting your brakes just as often as you want.  The
brakes are self-adjusting and do just fine with fully worn pads even
after never re-adjusting them manually.  If the parking brake lever
comes up too high, you have to adjust it at the lever-- and the
procedure in the FACTORY MANUAL for adjusting the parking brake says
NOTHING about the adjusting it at the caliper.  If they had to be
adjusted there, don't you think it would mention that?
