How do I adjust the emergency brake tighter ?

 I changed the front and rear pads not long ago. Must have missed something there.

Here's a pic of the rotor off (from my 06Z brake upgrade) so you can see what the adjuster actually look like.

OK so there is no way my installing new rear pads messed with that adjustment right ? How would that get out of adjustment ?
thanks guys I didn't realized the e-brake was a seperate brake shoe system. LMG_35C can you e-mail that service pic to me please ? smithc@mcdcsc.org

There's nothing preventing you from installing new pads with the e-brake the way it is. But since you're in there, I'd adjust them. I read about too many e-brake roll back accidents with the manual guys. And letting the car roll back on the auto tranny is hard on the tranny. Just take off the rubber cover on the brake rotor, line it up to the adjuster and adjust it per the manual. I ignored the cable part of the instructions and went directly to the shoe adjustment part.
For the attachment, just click the pic and print it out.

What a PITA, most Euro cars just have a 10mm nut below the Hand Brake lever.
