Hello folks...

I'm cleaning my 1999 Bxster and i would like to know how can i adjust the emergency brake lever....For now the lever ''click" too many times when it is supposed to ''click'' just 3 to 4 times.

Do i have to take off all the center console to do it ...

Thanks in advance

No, the adjustment is made at rear wheels with a screwdriver adjusting the brake shoes inside the rear hubs.

Please do a search as this as been covered in more detail here.

I'm sure the DIY will give you more detail, but you take the rear wheels off, rotate the disc so the top lug bolt hole is lined up with a semi cylindrical part with a gear in the middle. This gear and its housing are inside - you may need a flashlight to look in to be sure you have it lined up. Then you use a flat head screwdriver to rotate this gear - that tightens the cable. It rotates one way on one side to tighten, and the other on the other side. You also have to loosen the cable in the center console to have some slack.
