How Do You Tighten The E-Brake ?
Can't seem to see how or where you can adjust the emergency brake cable(s).Crawled underneath and saw the cable coming down from the cab and followed back to where it pulls two cables going to the separate back brakes but saw nowhere along the line a place to tighten the cable. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks !

IIRC, there is a star wheel to adjust each brake, since the parking brakes are "inside" the brake rotors, very similar to a drum brake, . You should be able to use a common screwdriver to adjust the wheel...stick the screwdriver in the hole and turn the star wheel up to tighten.
The more I think about this, the more sure I am that adjusting the parking brakes is JUST like adjusting drum brakes.
I gotta re-adjust the brakes on my dad's X...if you haven't figured it out before I get around to doing it, I'll let you know exactly how it's done.
