: E-brake is not working. So I tightened cable at e-brake--haven't done it at the wheels yet. This helped the e-brake work, but it doesn't click and lock. Sorta holds position but you can easily puch it down. What's up?

: Thanks!

The rear brakes can be adjusted at the backing plate with the eccentric adjusters ; but sometimes to get full e-brake you will need to replace the drums. They have very little tolerance and if they are worn even new shoes and adjustments wont work.
good luck Brian
