It barely holds my car from moving at like a 10* angle. I have taken the console off and thought i had tightened what i had to, apperently not. I know the lines are all connected cause that little pin thing on my rear brakes moves when i pull the brake. Thanks to all of you, I searched and couldn't find much. Pictures are always appreciated.

another thing id look at is your rear brakes they may be going or need adjustment there as well....
