Tighten it when the handbrake is down (off), park on a slight hill and do it, that way you can check how it's holding. It can help with an assistant to tell you that the brakes aren't rubbing at all once you let it off and start rolling too.

I tighten it while the handbrake was down and still nothing.

There's supposed to be a second nut which goes on top of that one to lock them together so it doesn't creep looser, do you have that?

No, theres only one bolt on it. I added another and its just a little better. And my handbrake is very tight now it only does like 3 clicks.

Quote:

There might be another adjustment on the brakes themselves if that doesn't fix it.. I'll check my book for you on that if you get stuck.

That would be great if u can look that up for me.

Quote:

One other thing, is that nut as tight as you can get it? It looks bottomed out!

Yes, its as tight as it will go. If i tighten it any more i kill the nut and the nut becomes as if its lose. Which I have replace twice now.
