There is a couple inches of play in my e-brake handle before you feel any tension. Is this normal? Is there a cable adjustment to take the slack out of it? If so, is it at the handle or under the car or at the rear wheels....?
Thanks ...

 

yes, there is an adjustment. it is at the handle, if you pull it all the way up, you will see a hole in the fron of it. look through that hole, and you will see a nut. tighten that nut, and there you go. also, becarefull not to tighten it too much, or you will dammage the cable, and you do not want to replace that. $$$$$.

also, yout issue could be due to your rear pads need replacing. just a heads up.

 

put car in reverse, start backing up, get going a decent speed and stop the car with the e brake... this readjust the e brake.

 

that was a pretty bad joke...

 

what?? I did it yesterday ...worked great!

 

hahaha, now that was funny.
