Has anyone done anything to make their e-brake a little easier to pull?

Keep using it and it will get looser. At least you're a long ways away from it needing adjustment.

Right, I am at 6k miles and it is looser than original. I just want to be able to pull it on a turn, and haven't been able to effectively.

I use my e-brakes every time I park the car. I am just over 1,000 Miles and it is no longer as stiff as before.

Why pull it on a turn? It's not hydraulic and it ratchets/locks all the way up... Seems like a quick way to lose control. You may think it'll be easy to push that button in and reset it, but I've seen that go bad for quick a few (no collisions, just spinning out).

You're supposed to hold it down so the ratchet never engages.

You don't need the handbrake to break traction in a turn. Flick it and hammer down ;) .
