Look right above the pedal, and you will see the adjuster nut. Real simple to do, but I can't remember the socket size.

 

It's a 10mm deep socket to adjust it but to do it you need to push the pedal about halfway down and try running it up a few turns and check it. If you have to adjust it a lot, I would consider pulling the back wheels and do the adjustment at the drums first after you back off the adjustment at the pedal. It will also be a good time to heck the condition of the rear shoes to see if they need replacing (like when somebody forgot to take the emergency brake off before going down the road). The adjustment on the E-brake is a star wheel just like on the drum brakes of older cars and trucks.

The e-brake is a seperate brake and will not wear out the regular rear brakes. The e-brake is actually in a small drum in the center of the rear brake rotor.

 

I just did mine on Sunday, I used a 10mm end wrench. It took about 10-12 turns to get my e-brake to hold without having to push it to the floor. I did not push mine half way down to do the the adjustment though, I tried that becasuse it was easier to get to, but I don't like tightening something up when it has tension on it.

Very easy fix.

Thanks to all for the help hopefully I will have time tmw after work to get this done.

 

:hat: Thanks for the info guys! I fixed my weak e-brake problem yesterday. now it holds without pushing the e-brake to the floor.:cheers:

 

Is the brake on both sides passenger and driver side rear brake rotors?
Thanks

 

Yes, there is an e-brake on both driver and passenger side.

And for helomec, you missed the point. Cpaul is talking about the e-brake shoes. The stopping brakes are discs, and don't have shoes. They have pads. But if the e-brake is left on, the e-brake shoes will delaminate - potentially violently while the vehicle is in motion - and can cause hundreds of dollars of damage and require axle replacement.

 

Not trying to hijack , but what do you mean when you say axle replacement? What damage would be done to the axle and where?

 

When the E-brake grenades inside the rotor hat, it can (and several times has) taken out teeth on the tone ring behind the axle flange. This causes an ABS fault, and consequently disables 4wd. The only way to get a new tone ring is to get a new axle, which means replacing one side or the other.
