The adjuster is on the divers side between the cab and frame.

Take the slack out by adjusting the threaded parts.

As long as you are not in a snowy area where they salt it is easy. If they ever bring inspections here I be ebrakes will be one of the biggest failures. Really common to just cut them or use them and they they are stuck on.

I just had to do that to pass inspection. just lay under there and do like five whole turns or something close and that should get it. I think you need like a 5/16 and a 5/8 but i could be wrong i cant remember. I had to get on the ground like 20 times before i got mine working. Hey lowclazz is it hard to pass emissions here cuz i just moved here and heard that it was.
