Adjusting the Park brake.

To do it properly. You back off the cable adjuster through the console. Then adjust the rear brake shoes, through the backing plate. There is a small rubber plug that you remove, adjust the shoe adjustment till the wheel starts to bind. Back off the adjuster to free the wheel. Then adjust the cable through the console till the lever rises 6 to 7 clicks.

If you just do the cable, the lever will feel better, but the brake won't work any better.

Do it properly do it once.
