After installing a new drivers side rear caliper i noticed my ebrake was extremely loose, so after pulling the center councel i noticed the cable on the drivers side was about an inch longer then the passenger side, is there somthing i need to do at the caliper to adjust it?

 

Sounds like you baked off the rear caliper to much. You will probably need to pull it off and give the caliper a turn or two out towards the disc. Just a guess.

 

im confused...wat do you mean?? ^^^^

 

ya me too

 

Ya same thing happened to my rear brake. When the car is jacked up with ebrake on full lock, i can freely spin the rear right rim with 1 finger.

 

Yes exactly my problem,what did you do to fix it?

 

lol same as my problem...just with the left wheel lol

 

anyone else have an idea?

 

I had kinda the same issue.. i just adjusted the nut under the console enough so that when the ebrake wasn't pulled, the tightest side would jspin, but barely catch. after breaking in my pads, i checked again, and tightened it up some more and as my pads broke in, they evened out i htink and now the brakes are pretty close to being the same when i pull the ebrake.

when you look at the cable adjuster and there is one side longer than the other, when you tighten it, it seems liek the design allow for even tension.. because of the pivot point.. think about it.. if one cable was tight, and one loose, when you urned the nut to tighten, it woudl pivot around the center and not pull the tight cable anymore.. just break in your pads or drive for a while and chekc it in a day or two and then once a week afterthat for a few weeks, i'm sure it'll work its way out
