    e brake adjustments

    I just did mine, wouldn’t hold the car on any slope at all. Find a hill, let the car roll backwards and pull the ebrake on. May have to do this a few times, the adjuster only turns one or two clicks each time. Worked for me.

    Hello from Elliot Lake

    Just joined the forum. New to corvettes as of Oct. 2016. My, new to me, 2000 M6 base coupe had just over 45,000 Km when I picked it up last October, been doing my best to correct that problem since. LoL. No real issues with the car, basically stock other than LT headers, x pipe, hi flow cats...
