E-brake adjustment procedure needed.

so i have searched around and have found no answers anywhere. how in the hell do i adjust my e-brake. i tried adjusting the handle and all that does is make the handle really hard to pull and doesnt go up as far (big f'ing surprise). so the only way i have heard to adjust the action of the e-brake is taking off the caliper and screwing out the pistion and somehow adjusting it that way. . . dunno how to adjust it that way but ok. so please help my e brake really sucks a lot, its only functional when i come to a complete stop on a hill and MUST put the car into gear or it will give way over nite and roll down the hill (that was interesting to explain to my parents). help!!!

Now that I've changed your title to reflect what you are looking for.(Newbies,lol)

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and see if any of those 5 related threads will help. (When you title your thread properly the computer gives you related threads) :-)

I title everyone a Newbie until they title a thread to actually reflect what they are really looking for. I have other reasons I call members Newbies also. :-)

Can I put an electric supercharger on my first gen?

Take the boot off and tighten the nut; It is fairly easy once you uncover the nut. lol

Just so there is no mis-understanding. I am laughing at the Electric supercharger reference, not the instructions on how to adjust.
