I was wondering if anybody on here knew how to tighten the e-brake cable, or if it is even adjustable...

i have discs in the back, although last time i checked my brakes they were at ~40% for pads and rotors. A few months ago the handle used to come up to about 2 clicks from all the way up, now i can go all the way to the top with not much force.

They are for the rear foot brakes mate, the handbrake shoes are inside the centre of the rear disc/hub.

You need to take off the wheel and rear caliper, then align the hole in the rear disk/hub to 6 oclock and rotate the small star wheel with a flat blade screwdriver so that it winds in the handbrake shoes. I think you move it towards you from top to bottom to wind them in (and opposite to wind them back out again).


The pictures on page 11 should help.

look at the adjuster piece, there is a small star nut in the centre of that that you need to rotate. the disc/hub will then come off easily.
