The e-brake clunks? How can that be? Need more detail on that.

The e-brake is normally self-adjusting.

Re: How to adjust e- brake
Shoebox is correct, its designed to take up slack over time so the ebrake stays tight and you dont have to adjust it. Id make sure everything is mounted correctly and all the bolts are tight down there.

Check the mount where the e-brake cable splits, it's above the driveshaft i beleive.
