Help with E-Brake

My ebrake is loose I think.. I had my rear on ramps and when i engaged the ebrake, the car moved off of them... NOT FUN! How do I tighten them? I heard it's pretty simple..

The concept is the same though, anyone should be able to figure it out just by looking at the AT footbrake mechanism for less than a minute

You can adjust the shoes in the back...pretty easy.

if you're at the point where you need to adjust, you should check your shoes.

The ebrake should be adjusted both at the handle/pedal and at the wheels. I'm sure you can just tighten the cable that goes to the pedal, but if the shoes aren't even, you will just end up with the brake applied on only one wheel. The adjustment at the wheels should be the same and you can probably figure out the foot pedal. Also, I remember the factory shop manual explained the AT well. (somewhere on g35frenzy.com)
