Ebrake

Bah...my ebrake still does not work. I have replaced the self adjusters in the drum ( one was broke), i have adjusted the ebrake inside the car.. still does not work well at all. it wont hold on any incline, and i can pretty much push it with it fully on... Could my ebrake cables be stretched? is there a way to check?

Im thinking if they are, then its time to convert to rear disc since i have to change the ebrake cable anyway when i do that...

Yes the wire can stretch. If it is you will have to replace it. Basiclly your attempt to tighten at the handle was what I would have suggested but that did not work so replacement is what you should do at this point.
