Default My e-brake sucks...

Like the title says my ebreak is no good. I just adjusted the ebrake cable still sucks, i just rebuilt the rear drums with new pads, researfaced the drums, and got new shoes the onlything i think it could be is the adjustment in the drums, some one told me they self adjust but it has been about a week now and it is still crapy, I park on hills and worrie my **** will creap off in the night. Any words of wisdom?

Thanks

Pull off your drums again, and you'll see the little "star" adjuster in there. It's supposed to be self adjusting, but they work like ****. Adjust them until there is a slight drag on the drum when you rotate it. After that, your brakes and e-brake will feel 10x better.
