e-brake not working correctly

well- had new e-brake lines put on the car month or so ago - and since i needed to pass inspection with it the place tightened the ebrake

anyway the ebrake is a pain in the *** to apply and just doesnt seem to grip as well as it should...

i know theres a way to adjust this - how do i go about it and where?

Re: e-brake not working correctly

I think the F body parking brake is self ajusting with the discs, thats why normally sometimes it goes up further then previously.

I'd go back and see what they can do, I dont use mine all the time but when I do It goes on and off without issue and definately holds the car.

Re: e-brake not working correctly

hmm that makes sense- only thing is like it literally is like lifting a 60 lb weight to move it about 3inchs up and i aint no lightweight -

my mechanic buddy mentioned there being a way to adjust or something possible up by the e-brake
