e-brake adjustment quesion
my e-brake handle goes up to its max and the wheels arent quite locked yet...how do i adjust my e-brake so that its completey locked at like half the throw of the handle?
edit: i do cee a bolt under my center console that goes to the arm on one side and goes to each wheel to the other, do i just turn this?

Re: e-brake adjustment quesion (BlueIntegraBoy)
ok im pretty sure i get it:
1: disconnect the two cables from the metal "T" piece at the end
2: turn bolt the "T" piece is attached to until its tight enough
3: re-connect the metal cables

Takes a bit of feel. You turn the star wheel a couple of clicks, throw the drum back on and spin the wheel the direction of travel. Re-adjust as necessary. There should be a very slight amount of drag. That part takes some getting used to.

spin the wheel moderately (not 100mph there pipes!!) and it should come to a stop within one rotation...you should feel a slight amount of drag when you're rotating the wheel....
adjust your starwheels in your drums though since you haven't done this before...if you adjust at the handle you could run into problems with only 1 wheel doing all the work or miss having a ceased cable which would cause a similar problem. if you know that both brakes are working equally then go ahead and adjust the handle...

woo hoo another fellow canadian. Yeah what ^he^ said. I could've elaborated some more but I've just taken for granted how to do it that I forgot how it was taught to me.
