adjusting the E-brake

[Night Wolf]

Ive noticed that when I pull my e-brake that one of my rear brake disks dont fully lock. I know that its not the caliper. cuz that one Ive fully serviced with the proper silicone lube. its the e-brake cable thats not properly adjusted. so how do I go about adjusting it?

The rear brakes are self adjusting.
Go on reserve and tap on your brakes, that should adjust them.
You can also adjust your e-Brake handle.
Take the centre console off, there should be a 12mm nut at the end of the eBrake handle.
Tighten it and it should make the e-brake handle tighter.

if I adjust the nut under the center console, will my e-brake actually lock the back brakes down, or will it still just "eventually" slow the car down?

adjusting that single nut makes it so it takes less clicks to lock the calipers. I checked it today.


but I noticed that I still got the same problem. also when I step on the brake pedal that one wheel still spins freely.

when I was checking the calipers that one caliper piston goes in with little effort. so I dont think its locked. but the piston of the rear caliper that does lock, goes in with alot of resistance. so cant that one make the other seem to act weird
