The only problem i've had and never able to figure out is how to adjust the brakes. I have been setting the auto adjusters the same on both sides and hoping that adjust correctly. Then I have to mess with the emergency brake.. what a pain. I've tried backing up and slamming on the brakes and that didn't help either.. although the wife got the escapes to set right.

Arent you supposed to reverse while you have the handbrake on? I know an old colt i had did this. just pull the handbrake on hard then slowly accelerate in reverse so that the car raises up at the rear slightly rotating on the axel.
