1989 Rear E Brake Adjustment

Hi All,

My E Brake lever is tighter than I recall... it will stop the rears fine, but now doesn't seem to be releasing fully...

I think I did this years ago, but anyone have the quick and easy answer to how or where I can adjust the e-brake cable, so that it's just a touch looser?

I feel the van "dragging" a little now... not in Reverse, just in drive... was fine before I tested the E-brake... (was for my yearly safety inspection...)

this was falls under "if it aint broke don't fix it..." I never use it, but required to work to get a sticker here...

but now it feels like Im towing something... Grrr!

Thanks

Solved

Hi all,

Seems to be better - I did the reverse/forward trick to have them reset automatically and that seemed to be ok... bad enough it runs like a dog when the AC is on... :-)
