Hey all-
New member here. looking for a little help with my 2010 Accord Sedan L4 AT. I recently replaced my rear brakes (pads, discs) as they were worn out and starting to grind. While awaiting parts from RockAuto, I had my drivers side caliper seize and leak fluid. I bought a refurb caliper, put it all together, bled them and was good to go. Brakes work wonderfully again while driving, however my parking brake now barely works. The handle will move from all the way down to about 70% of its travel before it does anything at all. I took my wheel back off and looked everything over and all appears to be in the correct place, leaving me pretty confused. any ideas? thanks in advance!

Make sure the rear caliper pistons are lined up with the pads correctly.The cross on the piston must line up with the raised tit on the inner pad.
