Default E-brake adjustment

was wondering if there is any adjustments that can be made on the e brake, i have to pull mine all the way up to the last click just to get it to hold. not sure when the last owner replaced the e brake shoes, maybe they just need to be replaced....

There is an adjustment at the bottom of the lever.

I had to do this on mine as well. If you pull up the e-brake you should be able to move the plastic shield to the side. There is a nut that is a little difficult to get to bit you can do it. Tighten it, and you will tighten the parking brake cable.
