Just a thought here. Adjustment of the hand/parking/emergency brake does not begin with the cable. First adjust the rear shoes per the manual to minimize the distance the shoes move to contact the drum. This will fix most e-brake issues. If that adjustment doesn't do the trick for your car, make sure that the e-brake handle bracket is still solidly welded to the frame. If it is, than the cable adjustment is in order. There is a fair amount of slop in the linkage so it may take some trial and error to get it right. Aloha Perry |
