I have had some problems getting my handbrake to hold on the lockheed self-adjusting drums. I've follwed the shop manual's guidelines in "adjusting" the rear brakes: with the car off, pump the pedal 5-10 times after exhausting the brake booster. So the shoes are in the proper position, and after bleeding the brakes, I have no problem stopping with the pedal. But the handbrake won't do it at all. I can make it slow the car down a tiny bit, but it won't keep her from rolling even on the shallowest driveway ramp. I even took apart the cable end at the left drum and tightened it down, again following the manual. I can pull the hand lever and move the drum levers to their maximum travel, but the e-brake still won't hold the car. What can I do to get my handbrake to work properly?
