ok so i tried searching but to no avail.. anyways does anybody now how to tighten the e-brake cable because i pull my up all the way but my car feels like it still wants to move that or can someone show me the thread that shows how to do this and i mean from the back and no through the front consle.

 

Pull the rear wheels off. Find the plug in the side of the rotor and turn it to the bottom. Pull the plug out and turn the adjuster. Run it down all the way snug, then back it off a turn or two and it should be about right.

 

yeah, there is one on here, but it is kinda hard to find it. try looking for it on yahoo. you might turn it up. oh, and a dealership charge is like $50 bucks.

 

Most cars are adjustable at the base of the lever. I haven't checked the tc though...

 

the tc is adjustible at the lever itself, and there are some adjustments that can be made to the parking brake itself, which is a brake drum located inside the rear disc brake of the car.

 

Just do what Engifineer says... it's the easiest and quickest. Andino adjusted mine for me while we were putting rims on my tC and now it only takes three clicks of the E-Brake to park it and 5 clicks if I were on a hill... thanks Andino!

 

Does this adjustment need to be made on both sides, or just one?

 

Both sides. You also need to make sure they're both adjusted evenly (same number of clicks each side.)

 

^ correct. And there is a cable adjustment on the tC near the lever, but you really dont want to use that. That is used for small adjustments and is normally something you would use after properly adjusting it at the drum.

 

Yup this the right way to adjust the ebrake. If you adjust using the adjuster in the handle, you are just increasing the amount of stress on the cable and not to mention, you risk a chance of snapping the cable. The adjuster in the handle should only be used after you adjust the pads in the rear drum to compensate for cable stretch.

 

^^ andino knows what he's talking about, he's got maturity beyond his years. He adjusted mine and they are perfect, all on the first try!

 

Im going to try that tommorrow, I have to click mine like 5 6 times just to get it goo when my cars i netural. Thanks

 

lol. were you ripping the ebrake trying to drift on a fwd? because my friend has the same problem he has to leave his car in gear all the time otherwise his call will roll away.

 

hahaha no not really but one time me and my friend went to an empty back llot when it was still wet after the rain and tried to do 180s other than that i always park on a upslope so i pull on it kinda hard.

 

This is true. I had KrazyieLos adjust mines and now my ebrake it's pointing at the way up to get a good strong hold. LOL
