Hi, this is my first post...
Wondering if anyone knew how to tighten the E-Brake? The bloody thing is so unpredicable I can't get it to drift correctly. I'm asking a question in reguard to a 2000 Honda Accord EX V6. Thanks!

 

With the car off, push in the button on the e-brake and pump it up/down a few times really fast. That should do it.

 

really?

 

Pumping the lever gets the auto-adjuster to work, that's to compensate for brake pads wearing out.

There's an adjusting nut buried in the console, kinda behind the pivot point of the lever. That's for a stretched-out cable.

Don't use one adjustment to compensate for the other, they BOTH have to be right or else it'll probably just get worse.

 

for a 4th gen?

 

I don't know... LanEvo7 asked about a 6th gen EX. That's got disks pretty much like my '98.

 

ok
go reverse and pull the e-brake. keep doing that till u feel it tighten

 

hmm...ill try that thanks

 

how will going in reverse while pulling the E-break tighten it up?? have you tried it and it worked?

 

I've never heard of that in my entire life, I really can't see how that would work I say call someone before trying that cause in my opinion you'd end up breaking your cable or something else.
