My e-brake is nearly useless. Anyone know how to adjust it? Vehicle is a '97 Ford Expedition. Has mini drum-type brakes inside the rear discs. Brakes are good.
 
E brakes should always be used, or never used.
Occasional use is where problems surface.
You have to make sure all the components are in good shape, and free and lubricated, before attempting to adjust them.
This means diving in deep into the system.
 
If your cables are saggy there's a doodad for that hanging from said cables. Do the brake shoes after the cable is taut.
