Emergency Brake 85 P/U	Sign In

Any help out there on how to tighten a emergency brake for a 85 4WD Nissan P/U? The inside handle will pull to tight, but break doesn't hold and vehicle will roll on a slight incline.

First off you should have the brakes inspected, serviced and adjusted at the wheels. After this has been performed then if need be adjust the emergency cables.
The emergency brakes work mechanically through the rear brake shoes via the cables. If the rear brake shoes are out of adjustment or in need of servicing and you just tighten the cables the rear shoes will wear unevenly and possibly fail.
Now if none of this makes any sense to you I would suggest taking the truck in and have someone perform this servicing of the brakes for you.
Brakes are brakes and shouldn’t be fooled with trial and error.
