hey guys sorry to bother yall agin but i just put a new cable on the hand break and I pull it up and it dosent work anyone kno how to adjust it and thanks for all of yalls help
 
Trying to remember for T-birds. I believe there should be an adjusting nut where the cable meets up with the caliper. Adjust the nut until the cable is just beginning to apply pressure to the caliper lever arm.
 
After adjusting, check to make sure it locks up tight, then release and make sure the rotor is turning free before you put the wheel back on.
 
where the 2 rear cables meet by the differential you will see a place to adjust the slack out of the cable.
 
the one nickleman is referring to is the one i have used in the past, although i needed to use alot of PB blaster. It was pretty well seized up.
