question on the brakes

My E-Brake is proving completely useless at the moment, I did a brake job about 5,000 miles ago but didnt adjust the ebrake cable at the time, because I wasnt familiar with how to do so. I am thinking that is what is coming back to haunt me now, curious if anyone can clarify this for me so I can get it fixed.

you just need to get under the car and verify everything is still hooked up correctly, and adjust as necessary

ohhh man!!!!

if you are talking about pulling the EB to maybe lock up your rear tires,
i had the same problem.

our EB isnt very strong as you can tell.
if you take off the little eb cover you will see a brake line with to bolts blah blah blah,
tighten it.

ahahahaha.

then go under the car to you rear EB line, and do the same.

good luck.
