E-Brake

[SwiftSES]

On my car i have 2 new rear calipers, and my e-brake lever inside the car is fairly tight but when i pull it up, but i have to pull it too high for the parking brakes to hold the car in place, like on a hill.
How can I fix/adjust this problem?

Ah... adjust the parking brake?
Do you have the shop manual?

On the back of the brake lever is a nut to adjust the pre-tension on the brake cable. Try that first. If that doesn't give you enough brake then you may want to check to see how the rear brakes together. There may be something wrong with them.
