It's all cool then... it's just that I was surprised just to see that anyone even reacted to my post since I just wanted to post the official info as a reference (actually, I thought the pic would be the most interesting part of it).

<Vehicles with rear drum-in disc brakes>
1.Pull the parking brake lever with a force of approximately 200 N (45 pounds) and count the number of notches.
so what does 200 Newton's of force feel like?

So i guess if you wanna do the job right you must buy one of these little guys for $125.... It accurately measures newtons.......

Or you could just rip off your center counsol and tighten the bolt.... that always works too.

EDIT: Nevermind, I went back out and found it, nobody said it was hiding under the rubber cover of the e-brake handle!

Its all good now.
