can adjust the shoes just not the parking brake. my parking break doesnt grab as tight as it should it, like the cable is stretched but its not.


and thats not written as being a smartass heh heh i appreciate the effort

adjsuting the shoes does adjust the ebrake. you adjsut it so the shoes are closer to the drum. thus when you pull the ebrake it takes less for the shoes to make contact. trust me....i swear it works

There's an adjustment pawl inside the e-brake mechanism. If you yank it up and down a few times it should tighten. If it's not tightening, the pawl spring could be out of place... or it's stretched the cable too much to adjust enough...
