Is there a thread on adjusting e-brake?
My e-brake does not hold so can anyone tell me the procedure to adjust it? I read one showing the rotor removed and using a large gage to measure the inside diameter of the drum and then measuring the outside diameter of the shoes. Is this the only way to make the adjustment? Thanks for any info.

Here you go. I also have one other file that I could send you but it is too large to make as an attachment here on the forum. If you'd like a copy of it, just PM me your e-mail address.

Hey Jack,
Finished that job and found using heat on the caliper mounting bolts works and a great tip. I know from looking at the position of the adjuster that the e -brake shoes were never adjusted before so it was long over due. Thanks again for the helpful threads.
