Default E-brake Problem

I'm having a problem with my E-brake they won't hold the rear wheels much now. If I'm not incorrect when the ring spands it holds onto the brake disc. I believed that the pin that pushes the ring outward is too small and the ring is not expanding enough. Problably I could make a bigger pins for in there??? Or is ther another way to adjust this??

Thanks

The pin is fine. Have you or anyone else ever changed the rotors? When the rotors are switched out, the e-brake needs to be readjusted - which many people skip. The adjustment is in the star wheel, which effectively "extends" the pin in the mechanism.

If you've never worked on drum brakes before, you might find a friend who has. The adjustment star screw is identical to old school drum brakes.
