I didn't have to weld anything when I adjusted mine. Unfortunately, I sort of forget how to do it. From what I remember you should remove the center console and then adjust the E-brake sprocket (somehow?). Sorry, thats the best I could do lol.

yeah, the how-to in the thread link above explains it in better detail, but there is no welding involved UNLESS you plan on installing an adjustable e-brake line.
