Fellers,

 

I have a '97 OBW with 289k miles. the emergency brake will not completely hold the car in our sloped driveway, is it easy to adjust this along the cable?

 

thanks

Is the handle being pulled up real high?

 

You probably need to adjust the drum brake portion of the parking brake. There are little adjusters you can get to on the rear of the brake backing plate on the rear brakes. There should be a plug there. If you remove this, you can use a screwdriver to turn that so it moves the pads closer to the drum.

What he said. The cables do not stretch much on those.
