How's the rear shoes?
Thin? Glazed? Maybe it's the cable itself stretching.

but 4 clicks means the cable is tight ? right ! ?or should i adjust it at the hand brake lever it self !?
anyway i am changing my rear shoes anyway ! the old ones are glazed and thin , ( maybe that is the problem !? )

thanx guys !

you might have to take the rear drum off and adjust the adjusting screw! or in the back of the drum there is a hole you can get it from there!

When you guys pull up your ebrake does it move all the way to the left??? Cause mine does....

that means one of your sides are thinner than the other ! adjust the rear left side ! and when the wheels are check if the cable graps at all ! if not then may be you got a loosen or cut wire !
