How does one adjust the emergency brake on a 97 LX 450? Too much slack in the cable - needs tightening. Thanks. PF...

you can adjust the nuts on the handle mechanism itself. that's the quickest method.

you can also adjust the e-brake pads out, but that requires removing the rear wheels and spinning the star adjuster wheel.

Thanks for the reply. I'll try adjusting the handle mechanism. May need some help with the other suggestion.
