OutMaxxed

My e-brake lately has had alot of "give" the first couple of clicks. Its not as tight as it used to be. I remember reading a thread about this but couldnt find it. Does anyone know how to tighten this bad boy up? Is it the bolt on the underside of the handle? (only accesable when you pull the e-brake up). If so what size is it before i go out an buy one? I tried turning it but I need a long socket to fit over it or else id know what size it is.

Thanks guys

Note: I am assuming there's nothing wrong with the brakes... There should be an access "hole" under the handle on the round portion of the handle assembly. Put a (probably deep well) socket on the bolt / nut there along with an extention and tighten it. I've never done this on a Maxima but that's the general procedure for tightening a little slop out of the e-brake cable.

Edit: You have to have the brake handle up, of course, to access the hole and nut.
