How do you adjust the e-brake on a libby with rear disks? I tried searching the tech forum but only found how to change the entire brake setup. Not much about the e-brake though...

The emergency brakes are brake shoes incorporated in a mini-drum part of the rear rotors. You have to put the Jeep on jack stands remove the rubber insert from the backing plate and adjust them with a brake spoon. While your adjusting them you spin the wheel til you feel slight drag then back off a turn, do this both sides. Of course the brake is off when you do this. Joe :wink:

Ive posted two threads on how to adjust it at two places.

Seems like the adjustments in the handle itself is the problem with the ebrake not holding. I can adjust the handle inside the Jeep and it works great until I pull up to hard. IE, parked on a big hill. After that it seems like the handle slips and puts slack back into the cable.

If there was a way to lock up that crappy clutch on the ebrake handle then it would work great all the time.

When adjusted, two-three clicks will hold it on a big hill.

I can also lock the back wheels up when going down the road if its adjusted properly. Ive only done that twice as it cannot be good on the drive-train to suddenly lock up when your going 30mph.
