From what bently says, you have to take the center console to get to the adjustment, WHAT A PITA.. Ok I now I have thing that does not work, well it needs adjustment. Does anyone else know any tricks? thanks

I don't think there is an adjustment. I was up under the tunnel recently to change out the rear output seal of the trans and saw where the cables connect, no adjuster. I suspect the lever arms on your rear calipers are frozen or the pistons in the calipers themselves are out too far and have to be screwed in (as you would when you change the rear pads). The rear calipers are supposedly self-adjusting and every time you use the brakes in reverse, they "adjust" a little for the brake pad wear. Remember that the rear calipers are Girling, so with all due respect to our British friends... they're junk. Try excelerating in reverse (pick an empty parking lot) and use both the pedal brake and the e-brake... seriously.
