there are 2 ways one is pull your rear brakes off and adj. the small drum brakes in the back. and another is pull out your center console and there is a 10mm nut with a stud through it that you can tighten to make it work gooder.

Good looks, mine is pretty weak. Barely works, if at all, if I'm on any type of angle. Granted I just need to throw the car in gear but still annoying.

thats one way but you will run out of adjustment there eventually you really need to pull off you rear brake rotor and there will be a small "star wheel adjuster" at the bottom of the e brake assembly all you do is turn it to push the pads out and put there rotor and adjust it till it just bairly clears the rotor and spins free.

I've taken my ebrake off, when I had to replace the hub in the rear. It's really not that hard. If you just want to reach the star adjusting screw take off your wheel, take off your brake caliper, take off the rotor. The adjuster will be exposed and you just turn it w/ your finger.
