Adjusting the e-brake?

Did anyone do a how-to for adjusting the emergency brake? I found one for removing the center console, and the Haynes manual covered adjusting the e-brake, but I wanted to find one written by a CSS.net user so I don't mess anything up. If not, I may just write one up.

You need to remove the cover off the park brake handle, and you adjust the cable by tightening the 10mm nylon locking nut on the end of the cable, I usually tighte it until the park levers on the caliper just start to move.....then work the brake a bunch of times, and check again, retighten or loosen the nut until all the slack is out of cable, you want tension on the cable but for the levers on the calipers not to be moved.
