Well, the title says it all. I changed the brake pads and rotors and now the parking brake doesn't work. I double checked the conection for the parking brake and it is hooked up properly. Can i adjust the parking brake to fix this problem?

Also, if anyone knows how i can get a rebuild kit for the nismo 1.5 lsd, i would appreciate it. I already made a post for it in tech, but thought i'd ask here too as a side note.

Thanks

pump the brakes and pull the parking brake a few times, see if that resets it.

Did you make sure the bolt for the ebrake cable is bolted up tightly to the caliper and that the pin is lined up with the bracket for the the ebrake? If you did that then you can adjust your ebrake under the ebrake lever via the adjustment nut.

tighten your ebrake from your adjuster then

loosen it up first then retighten it and stuff.
