Parking / Emergency Brake Adjustment

[AquilaBMW]

I may just suck badly at searching, but I could not find anything about adjusting the Parking or Emergency Brake.

Is it something I can DIY? Has anyone done it before? And how difficult / easy of a procedure is it?

Thanks.

Thanks!:buttrock

The funny thing is the shop would charge me $36 to adjust and tighten up the parking brake. If I am feeling lazy, I might just do that... LOL!!! I also have a nasty habit of breaking things.

Okay... guess I will do it myself so I can post results. Let's hope I don't break anything in the process. See my other DIY threads to understand.:(

Wealll..... the car was in the shop the other day for a quick fix on the exhaust system. They adjusted the parking brake for free.
