ebrake in 89 5.0
 

ive started to notice that when i park even on flat areas that my ebrake wont hold my car and that i really have to pull it all the way up for it to even hold it a little bit, is there any adjustments i can do or do i just need to replace it?

What do your rear brakes look like? They may be the problem.

my car does this same thing....but i dont really need my e brake cuz mines an automatic...

you need to remove the rear drums and inspect all hardware like for frozen adjusters and or a rusted/ frozen cable due to rust and make sure none of your wheel cylinders are frozen either.....not that they would cause the problem you have but it's a great time to inspect the operation and integrity of the rear brake set up;)

cable could have stretched and need replacing

yeah im going to take a look at the rear brakes tomorrow and make sure everything is working good and can i see the ebrake cable from under the car or is it hidden?
