Adjusting the E-Brake

If the pads are brand new then they have not bedded in. It's gonna take some miles to bed the pads and rotors in. WHat that means is some pad material gets transfered to the rotor and impregnated into the surface. Only after this happens do the brakes work correctly.

When i did my brakes, it took a week or so for the e-brake to grab like it did before. I remember setting it on a hill a few times and having the car start to roll on me.

The toothed section on the handle is what locks the e-brake handle in place. The drum-brake foxes used to have an adjusting nut on the center cable but the SN95's do not. The only adjustment is in the calipers themselves. Setting and releasing the e-brake with your foot of the service brake will adjust them, but like i said before if the brakes are brand new it will take a little time to bed them in
