Default How do you tighten E-brake

Ok finally changed all 4 brake pads today, I think next time ill do one set then save the others for another day. Anyhow 3 beers 2 hours later finally learned how to do audi brakes. Still having the same problem i had with my rear brakes, seems like my e-brake is very loose. I pull it all the way up and my car still moves in reverse, it is engaging because it is slowing the car, but i know it needs to be tightened. Searched AF and the net for how to tighten the e brake cable with no luck.

Pumped the pedals as required, the fluid over flowed a bit while compressing all the pistons, but the fluid is at the proper level, fronts are workin great.

Follow the e brake cable in the back of the car to where it comes to a sleeve, loosen the lock nut and turn the sleeve a couple of turns, do the same to the other sleeve so they are even. Continue turning the sleeves until you get your desired tension.
