uneven e-brake
i have a 99 civic si and the problem im having is that the e-brake does not pull evenly on both wheels. if i pull up the e-brake on a hill, the passenger side tire will slide while the drivers side rolls. i know you can adjust under the center console but is there a way to adjust the left and right individually?
NOTE: After servicing the rear brake pads or calipers, or the rear brake shoe, loosen the parking brake adjusting nut, start the engine, and depress the brake pedal several times to set the self-adjusting brake before adjusting the parking brake.
Raise the rear wheels off the ground, and support the vehicle on safety stands.
WARNING: Block the front wheels before jacking up the rear of the vehicle .
Parking Brake Cable At Rear Caliper

On vehicles with rear disc brakes, make sure the parking brake arm on the rear brake caliper contacts the brake caliper pin.
Remove the rear console.
Pull the parking brake lever up one notch.

Tighten the adjusting nut until the rear wheels drag slightly when turned.
Release the parking brake lever fully, and check that the rear wheels do not drag when turned. Readjust if necessary.
Make sure that the parking brakes are fully applied when the parking brake lever is pulled up fully.
Reinstall the rear console.
