Default Drums/e-brake problem

Hey all, got a question for all the Mustang gods out there.

My mechanic says there is nothing wrong with my rear brakes (stock drums) but when i am in my driveway, which is moderately sloped, unless I pull the e-brake all the way up to the very last click when I hit the clutch to start her up, it'll start to slide backwards. Not rapidly mind you, but not real slow either.

So my question is, is this something that can be adjusted, or is it time for new drums/shoes? I can't find any good info on the net on when a drum replacement is needed& the forum search is out of whack..

Thanks

Default RE: Drums/e-brake problem

You can do one and or both of two things. Adjust up the shoes and or adjust up the parking brake.
