The e-brake on my '01 S60 will just barely hold the car on a slight incline. I changed the brake shoes a couple of years ago, and have now adjusted the cable at the brake handle so it's at it's max cable tightening. I removed the rotor this morning and measured the lining on the shoe. On the rear wheel driver's side, the forward portion of the shoe's lining is 3mm thick and at the rear (where the cable-driven shoe expander is located) the thickness is 4mm. That's just the opposite of what I would have thought. If I install one of these adjusters from FCP:

will that solve my problem? The car currently has a solid (non-adjustable) spacer between the front ends of the brake shoes. Thanks.
