after my convertion of drums to discs my e-brake wasnt braking well. the problem was that the e-brake shoes werent expanding enough to hold the discs.
while i was adjustin it, I decided to take some pictures and help some people if they are having the the same issue.

first jack up the car with jack stands

remove wheels

loose the 2 bolts that holds the caliper from the back. its a 14

remove caliper and disc. (if your e-brake is engaged you wont be able to remove the disc)

by turning these teeh the shoes will expand and that will make the shoes to get closer to the disc. so when you pull the ebrake it is going to hold better. VERY IMPORTANT---> e-brake handle have to be down (at the lowest point) when you put your disc back. and when you put the disc back it should rotate smooth without rubbing the shoes.



after doing this if you e-brake handle gets too tight or too loose when you pull it. adjust the handle from the inside of the car as batman says in this link--> very easy...

i thought there was a hole behind it where you can adjust it with the wheel still on and everything. same thing your adjusting just from the back (or maybe its just in the GT models not sure)
