take the console out and adjust the cable. Usually this is a sign that your brake shoes need replacing as the cable auto tightens as the pads wear.

no, no the pads are fine, just the assholes who did my breaks messed with it. do i have to take off the console? or do i have to take off the back tires?

remove the e-brake console and tighten the adjustment screw where the 2 cables connect.
