so I'll help you out.
Ok, so when you did the install, you said you had to loosen the bracket to get the cables to fit? That's fine. Once you get to the point where the cables are installed correctly, but losely on the bracket, all you'll have to do is tighten the cable by turning the nut attached to the cable. Tighten it so that it only takes about 7-9 clicks for the brakes to lock up fully. Hope this helps.

Yup, on mine theres a nut to adjust which is covered by the boot normally. Everything else sounds right to me too.

is that the nut that is in the center of the braket? i assumed it was but i didn't want to hack at it with out a second opinion, also will that make it loose enough to pull down on the bracket enough to get it back in place? thanxx

The best way is to keep the bracket bolted in (don't mess with it) then loosen the nut and get the cable hooked in, then just tighten the nut.

well thats the problem, i unbolted the ebrake cable bracket when i dismantled the stock cables. i have the integra cables in place but my problem is i cant get the bracket to line back up where it was when i started, so i didn't know if i could adjust that nut in order to releave the tension to move the bracket back... if that make since.

Ya that makes sense. Try and loosen it now, if it STILL doesn't reach far enough then loosen the other end that attaches it to the actual brakes.
