You could have a caliper that's corroded and doesn't move. Make sure than when you pull the ebrake handle, it's moving the arm on the caliper. Also, set the venting clearances in the rear. IIRC, the manuals are wrong and you need to set them at 0.004".
If all that is okay, you need to adjust the cables at the drivers side of the engine bay, near the floor. Loosen the nut and unscrew it more. Recheck your venting clearance when you done. |

BRAKE
Pop the arm with a light tap of a hammer and see if it moves. Set venting clearance. Like Burgerman says ............. |
