e-brake problem

[Soulja]

I just changed my rear rotors and calipers, and now i have no ebrake. The andle pulls pretty much all the way up and does nothing. The brakes are bled and normal braking is fine. But I have no e-brake. Any ideas?

May be a stupid question, but you did attach the e-brake cable back onto the calipers?

don't twist or kink the ebrake cable for the rear. There's a small notch on the cable part that bolts into the caliper. Then there's the hole for the bolt. Make sure they're both lined up. You might want a friend to help put in the bolt while you wrestle with the bolt. But then again, if you loosen the tension on the ebrake cable from the ebrake handle (take the ebrake off and also loosen the adjuster screw) it should go in a bit easier. Then readjust the adjuster screw until you get 6-8 clicks.

I know you said you bled the brakes, but how many time did you pull the ebrake? I had to about 15 times on mine before it worked.

pull the ebrake while bleeding the brakes?
