Anybody have the procedure for adjusting the emergency brake on an '01 Legacy GT?

Is the e-brake not holding the car?

 

Basically you jack up the rear of the car, remove the little plug on the back side of the parking brake backing plate. Stick a flat head screw driver in there and move the adjustment screw up or down.

 

I suggest moving the wheel frequently after you pull up on the handle to make sure the shoes are dragging.

Or are you asking about adjusting the e-brake handle?

 

I don't know the specifics of the 01's. Typically, one has to pull up some plastic panels in the area of the handle in order to access a take up adjustment between the handle mechanism and the cable.
