e brake tightening
i have a '97 subaru legacy and the ebrake seems to be a little loose. like it won't really grab until its pulled 12 clicks up?
is there anyway to tighten it so it is more responsive? my moms 2002 legacy is nice and tight and i want it like that. my friend said i just have to tighten the cable, but not sure how. thanks |

if you have a manual for the car, look up "e-brake" in the index....it says in there
you can also take off the center peice covering the e-brake and adjust it through there..that is probably the thing that will fix your problem...just loosen and put up the slack and tighten... Last edited by FormulaDrifter; 12-27-2004 at 04:42 PM. |

Get a manual like a Chiltons or something. It will tell you in detail how to replace the ebrake parts, from there you should be able to figgure out how to adjust it. If you had a Camaro I'd be able to help you out, but no idea how Subbies are setup.
