emergency brake handle
It seems that I'm pulling my handle a lot higher and the "E" brake is not grabbing as much as it used to.
I looked at Bentley's and the adjustment requires two people. Is there an easier fix?

My lever goes all the way up, the pads are still thick. Here's the procdure
Depress brake firmly at least once.
Parking brake lever in rest position.
Loosen adjustment nut for parking brake using 3343 parking brake adjustment wrench until both levers are at stop of brake caliper.
Tighten nut on pull-lever enough that both levers move noticeably at the brake caliper (second technician required).
Engage parking brake firmly at least once.
Adjust the adjustment nut on the pull-lever so that one lever at the brake caliper rises just before impact.
This is according to Bentley
