    Emergency Brake

    Well, im still trying to figure out what is wrong with my emergency brake.... Is there any other place on the car that I can tigthen my ebrake up other than the bolt behind it? Could the cable be streched out, and need to be replaced? Or could it be my brake shoes?

    New shoes will help greatly. The only adjuster for the P-Cable is behind the hand lever.

    yea, all you have to do is adjust your rear brakes for your ebrake to be tighter.

    I did do a search and found things I already knew. I tried your search and it didnt find any results... But I had already previously tightened the bolt behind the ebrake, i was curious to know if there was another place to tighten the cables... My next job will be to put on new shoes! YAY!

    Thanks for the reply, you confirmed what I had thought I was hoping I wouldnt have to replace the cables...
