Is there a way to adjust the e-brake so that it isnt pointing to the roof by the time its nice and safely doing its job?

dont think im pulling with all my might on it, because im not.
but it literally wont function unless its way high up there...any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Ashtray

 

the adjuster in on each side of the rear brake assembly.

you can also do fine adjustment at the handle if you remove the leather boot.

look in the FSM.

 

dont judge me lol...but...FSM??

 

FSM= factory service manual

i dont judge. lol.

i know all the acronyms these days can confuse the heck out of you.

 

haha yea they really can.
are you majoring in engineering or business?? hope you do not mind me asking.

thanks for the input BTW.

 

i just graduated with a mechanical engineering degree.

if you cant figure out how to adjust it or dont have access to a manual i can probably email it to you. not the whole manual. thats way too big lol

 

I need to do the same with my emergency brake, It will only grab when the handle is all the way up!

 

same here luxor.

I'd love to take a look at that too.

 

get on MSN, fool. I have a large manual I can send you..

 

good point about the fine adjustment at the handle.
you can only adjust so much at the handle before it bottoms out and works all wierd.
if yours is pointing at the sky, you may need to adjust at the rear brakes.
I did it at the handle just to pass a safety inspection once, and it just barely held the car at a stop. it worked but i wasn't satisfied with that.

 

also had the same problem before....
but there should be a bolt right under the e-brake boot you can just go ahead and tighten it and from my belief will no longer be reaching for the sky.

 

to soaringsc3: it may not be pointing to the sky, but will it grab?

 

Set me up with adjusting the ebrake at the rear, my handle is maxed out.

 

go to www.militarytuners.com. There is a sticky for the online manual and the adjustment is on page br-11. It will also show you the rear e-brake adjustment. Good luck
