E brake problem so my ebrake hasnt been holding the best for quite some time and to even get it to hold a decent amount at all I have to pull the lever all the way back. So today while doing my oil I crawled towards the back to check it out...a few things I noticed was that there are two places where the cable snaps into the bottom of the car...one spot where the front cable goes through and a wider clip where both of the rear cables go through...well both of those clips are bent horribly and the metal clip on the cable is actually rubbing against the cable itself...i also noticed back near where my driveshaft ends there is some big rubber/foam tubing around the cable and that has some of it taken out due to the driveshaft hitting it during bumps i guess....so what would be the best way to fix this?
There is an adjustment for the E-brake on the Rear Calipers..it's a little allen head set screw on the back of the Caliper. Mine is a little loose to..I need to adjust it.
MERV is correct.
there will come a time where that adjustment will be maxed out....my cure was to replace the cable from the handle to the lines under the tunnel it was 36.00 from chevy been perfect for 4 years now.

well here are the pictures I got...with the ls1 driveshaft, chassis mounted torque arm and duals its hard to get a good pic
heres the front cable...you can see how the L bracket is bent causing the metal ring around the cable to be angled and rub against the cable itself
heres the back L bracket for the rear cables and you can also see it is bent too causing the metal rings to rub on the cables too.
