Is it locking in the air? Does it hold the car?

It’s a bone simple system, also keep in mind your not going to get much force from cranking on a cable e-brake, the power just isn’t there.

it doesn’t take much force to lock rear tires though.

Are you sure ur cables are not stretched. There is no other adjustment. So either your cables are stretched, or ur calipers, pads rotors are not good.
