The parking brake pedal goes all the way down to floor board and it barely holds the vehicle. Just did rear brakes, new drum and shoes. I pre-adjusted shoes to drums so it's not the adjustment. This problem pre-existed prior to brake job. Almost seems as if the cable had stretched. This is a 2008 Ranger 2 wheel drive with the 9" drums. There are no adjusters for the cable as far as I can see. It seems to have the same type of parking brake pedal mechanism as my 03 Explorer. I just need to "tighten" it up slightly. On my 92 1st gen, you could adjust the equalizer. So how to adjust on the 08 Ranger. Thanks in advance.
 






bad park brake lever (pedal assy) these are self adjusting and this one is not adjusting
