Default **Anyone adjust Parking Brake??

Just wondering how to adjust the parking brake. When the car is in park and i put the brake on, it is not catching. Also, when driving i really need to pull the brake up quite a bit to get it to even grab.
Thanks.

Very easy to do. Remove the ash tray thing, you will see a 10mm nut on the end of the cable. I pulled the break up just far enough so that a deep-well socket would fit on the nut. Adjust so that you can hear 7 clicks at the point the break is set firmly. To confirm the break is not draging, be sure that when the break is off here is play in the cable.
