fixing ebrake on 2005 coupe
Well, not really replacing, more like "refurbishing". My ebrake sucks, what do I have to do to make it like new again? Replace pads? I'm clueless. If so, where do you suggest I buy them?

Re: fixing ebrake on 2005 coupe (Extremity)
if you have bad, pads, shoes then
replace pads or shoes, then bleeding will fix your problem
then adjusting:
here is some info on how
pull the parking brake lever with 196 N (20kgf, 44lbf) force to fully apply the parking brake. The parking brake lever should be locked within the specified number of clicks
Lever Locked Clicks:
Vehicle With Rear Disc Brakes: 9-11
Vehicle With Rear Drum Brakes: 9-11
Adjust the parking brake if the lever clicks are out of spec.
Adjustment
****************
NOTE: After rear brake caliper servicing, loosen the parking brake adjusting nut, start the engine, and press the brake pedal several times to set the self adjusting brake before adjusting the parking brake.
Block the front wheels, then raise the rear of the vehicle, and make sure it is securely supported.
make sure the parking brake arm on the rear brake caliper contats the brake caliper pin
pull the parking brake lever up on click.
remove the rear console lid
Tighten the adjusting nut until the parking brakes drag slightly when the rear wheels are turned.
release the parking brake lever fully, and check that the parking brakes do not drag when the rear wheels are turned. Readjust if necessary.
make sure the parking brakes are fully applied when the parking brake lever is pulled up fully.
Reinstall the rear console lid.
I typed the thing as fast as I can, so expect some typos...forgive me
