Is the e-brake not holding the car?

 

Basically you jack up the rear of the car, remove the little plug on the back side of the parking brake backing plate. Stick a flat head screw driver in there and move the adjustment screw up or down.

 

I suggest moving the wheel frequently after you pull up on the handle to make sure the shoes are dragging.

Anybody have the procedure for adjusting the emergency brake on an '01 Legacy GT?

Or are you asking about adjusting the e-brake handle?

 

I don't know the specifics of the 01's. Typically, one has to pull up some plastic panels in the area of the handle in order to access a take up adjustment between the handle mechanism and the cable.
