I was wondering how do you tighten your e brake handle because mine needs to be pulled all the way up to the very top in order to stop the car. I was talkin to the guy at the service department and he said I had to tighten it from the rear disk, which didn't really make any sense to me since the honda one is tightened from inside the car at the ebrake, I tried in my car but the bolt wouldn't budge so can anyone help me?

GT or GT-S???

if GT-S....lift rear of car...take off wheel, ruber grommet on rear disk,drum combo. disk regualr stopping, drum, ebrake...adjust this with a flat head skrew driver...look in side the hole, turn it till you see the adjustment wheel...it has teeth on it. use the skrewdriver to pry the adjuster wheel. it moves the shoes out...

if a GT....i don't know

too often...less sleep than awake time equals poor perfomance, or garbled and hard to read posts. ha ha ha
