the e line, is tight enough

 

assuming that you have rear drums, try adjusting the shoes, so there is a slight drag while you try and spin them

 

how do i so that? never heard of such thing

my e-brake sux too,
just dont try and drift, ull be fine,

 

I have the same problem but I don't think my brake shoes have ever been changed. Once I change them and adjust the cable, I'm sure it will work right again.

the cables could be rusted in the lines and not moving

 

pull the drum off and there will be a horizontal bar/tube thing that looks to have a gear on it. that the star adjuster. you want to turn that thing one way or the other to move the shoes out. it will be diffrent on both sides (the way you turn it). touching the star wheel is the adjuster itself, it looks like a stamped piece of steel. when you turn the star wheel the adjuster will click. go like 1-3 clicks, put the drum back on and try and spin it. if it will spin 1 full rotation or more without touching it then its not tight enough.

Thanks mrtoastyjr, that's some good info.

 

i checked all lines no leaks, my-ebrake still not working but now is not my e-brake now is my brakes
after bleading the system i drove it around the block, when i stepp on my brakes it dosent brake they feel somewhat hard i have to step on them hard to actually brake in time when i live my pedal in to brake slowly it dosent brake fully, it brakes a bit and then it just dosen't brake at all so i have to pump the pedal and breake ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS????? HELP

 

what happens if i don't bleed the brakes as is suppost to be done??

 

i had a similar problem and i tightened my ebrake cable and that worked for a bit and then it jus sucked so i opened it up and found that the one rear brake piston was shot and stuck open and my brake shoe was scraping everthing up. I had to replace the brake piston as well as the shoes and resurface everything. I was also losing brake fluid too out of the blown brake piston. Hope this helps.

 

sounds like you got air in the lines, have a buddy help ya bleed em again and go from there, see if u have any leeks and if you hooked up the vacum line to the new booster

 

i'll check in to that tomorow i hope is not big thanx
