If i understand there's an auto tensioner that will takeup some of the slack.
Put your car in reverse and back up slowly, while pulling the hand brake on and off and you're moving.

when you install a new handbrake, there is a procedure in the gm service manual that tells you how you need to re-wind the tensioner spring. i don't have access to the book anymore, but i'm sure someone on here can chime in and post it. after that it is auto tensioning.

Hi jayson_waltz,
Does the entire handbrake assembly need to be replaced?
