Default E-brake question

Does anyone have the problem with there back e-brake not holding? I have a 93 Si and my rear disks will not hold when you apply the ebrake. I have repaced the read brake pads and they are adjusted enough that they won't drag when driving normal. Any idea would be appreciated.

Is it not staying up? or not grabbing on the brakes?

theres an adjusting nut by where your e-brake handle is. just tighten it down and see if that solves your problem. it most likely should unless something is wrong.

Then jack it up, and have a friend spin the wheels and adjust it to just before the pads make contact.
