ebrake adjustment

The ebrake adjustment is automatic and is contained in the rear calipers themselves. You should not have to touch it unless you are changing the rear pads and have to reset the adjustment. Or are having an issue.

well other than the fact that my car likes to roll down hills... i guess it works fine? i dont like to leave it in gear as a substitute for a parking brake.... just seems like unneeded stress on the transmistion... idk if it is or not, but i guess its just for my own peace of mind....

Simple fix:

Pull up a little harder on the hand brake.
