My ebrake doesnt grab worth shit and i want to fix that. I’m sure the cable just needs to be tightend, but i dont know how to on my s14 and my crappy tires doesnt have a chilton (how are the helms manuals for 240’s?). Pics of how to do this would be great, but i guess an explanation would work.

i tried to search, but no luck

Hayes manuals are decent, Just find the turn buckle and give it a couple turns, but I would check the rear pads first, you might need pads.

i know the pads need replacing all around so thats gettin done soon. But i can tell by the pull of the handle that the cable is loose.

Anyone have a pic of the turnbuckle?

keep pulling the ebrake up till you see a hole underneath the handle in the ebrake boot.  
take a deep 10mm socket, and turn it.
