So my e brake barely works on my wagon. I've found information on how to tighten it using the nut on the handle itself, but I haven't found reliable information on how to tighten the e brake underneath the car. I have a GT with rear disc brakes.

Any help or links would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Same as any other rear drum brake.

Thanks! However, mine are disc brakes. This might make the adjustment process differ.

There is a rubber plug on the back-pry it out and and adjust it up until it can't move and then back it down two clicks-their should be an up facing arrow stamped on the backing plate.

Well, the ebrakes themselves are drum brakes.

On the bottom of them, behind the rotor, there's a plug that you can remove and you can turn the star wheels to tighten them up. I don't know the exact process, TBH, as I hate drum brakes and will let professionals service those damn things.
