2016 2 dr with 80k miles on 38" tires, replaced my e-brake shoes twice and they have never really worked no matter how much i adjusted it at the rear wheels. I noticed i had the same exact loose tension on the clock spring. I did two full rotations of that hex nut and my e-brake is now holding without me having to yank it up to full lock and what felt like only 1/2-3/4 engagement. I now get 100% engagement on 1/2 the distance pulled. The e-brake now holds even when put in 1st and i try to drive. this has never been like this.. Thanks!
So to add tension you’re tightening/clockwise rotation one full turn so the bolt seats again? I’m a bit confused by the “backwards” part and how it rounded off… appreciate the video this looks like a good trick!
Thanks for this video, it's the first time I've seen this bolt mentioned, but it now seems like the obvious way to re-tension the spring. Do you think there's a way to lever the bolt out a bit first so that it doesn't round off at all?
Meaning that you don't move the screw backwards again. He explained at 4:32 that you only get one shot, going forwards, because it rounds off the edge which is fine because you don't need to move it backwards like he did to make this video. So don't back up the screw and it will hold.
Yes wrong. I had a car pop out of gear, roll down the street and jump the opposite curb onto a sidewalk. Never parked a manual without e-brake after that
When in doubt wheel chock it with anything nearby, a rock, a large stick, a baby, tightly rolled up rug/mat, car jack, or actual wheel chock since they are cheap. Yes, was JK about the baby, the point is just about anything will do in a pinch.

Could you explain how you put it in service mode, when you put the camera down?
Is it still working after the repair that was done a year ago

Now just put a small tack weld, and you’re good to go 👍🏻

What size is that hex?
“Assuming you don’t back it up”, meaning what?

Great info. Need steadier camera work. Thx
Çok saçma bir sistem mi yoksa bana mı öyle geliyor.bir el freni ayarı yapmak için
😅 I agree
If you got a park or a gear you don't need a park brake.
I never use one
Wrong. One day you will find out why.

That is the most horrible advice I've ever heard 😂
I never did with my previous cars. The jeep, rolls down even with the e brake. Crazy.
