I just recently purchased the car so I don't know when the last time it worked. The emergency brake handle won't move far enough with normal motion for the ratchet to engage. If I pull up hard with two hands I can get it to hold so I don't think it's the handle mechanism. It appears that the cable(s) are too tight. I checked both cables and the levers at the rear calipers and they move freely. When I look at the shop manual at the equalizer bracket there doesn't seem to be any adjustment to add some slack. I removed the console and there doesn't seem to be anything abnormal where the cable connects to the handle. Any ideas on how to add some play to the cables.
