Ok, just put new shoes on my car in the back, 93 Civic CX H/B. Now my e-brake doesn't work. I adjusted the nut next to the cables inside the car, no difference. What did I do wrong? I can pull as hard as I want on the lever and it might hold for 2 seconds.

 

I would check to see if it is moving with the drum off. sould like tou got excess slak in your cable

 

you turn the little knurled nuts in the drums to adjust the brake shoe outwards?
ebrake cables still in place in the drums?
just throwin out ideas...
K.

 

Thanks for the replys. I'm gonna pop off the drums in a few hours when the sun starts to come out. My garage lighting sucks.
