Hi,
Recently I had E brake trouble too.
I removed the torque screw that holdds the brush deal that the handle sits in.
Then I parked on a hill in my driveway.
I tightened the nuts at the lever, which tighten the cables so they bite harder on the pads/calipurs.
I guess you are supposed to use a small flat head screwdriver to hold the cable and an open ended wrench to turn the cable nut.
I kept adjusting it until it held the car on the hill.
It is possible that the cable has rusted and become bound up inside it's sleeve.
Hopefully not.
My case was bizare though. The metal that the E brake attaches to (the floor of the car)
was tearing and the whole E brake was moving. So my cable tightening did not work the next day.
I ended up drilling through the floor and bolting it to the floor (using huge washers to spread out the force).
Good luck,
-Peter '96 CS 109k mi
