s13 brake pad install questions..

[1wayIsSideways]

I just installed new pads on the rear of my s13. Everything went smoothly. I went for a drive and it seems as if they arent tight enough. My e-brake is also really easy to pull up and is very lose. anybody know what i should do?? Thanks

Have you tried bleeding the brakes? I just did my fronts and rears a few days ago and the pedal went to the floor 2x then it got stiff again. If its still soft try bleeding the brakes to let any air thats in the system out.

how do i bleed my brakes? The pedal doesnt go to the floor, it is just soft and the e-brake doesnt work.

Did you hook up your e~brake cable back up?

[1wayIsSideways]

yea i did. There is tension. but not enough to stop the wheels from spinning.

Adjust it. Secrets are within the FSM.

Lift your shift boot, 10mm deep well. There is a nut you need to tighten right under the boot facing you. pu tthe lever down a little and tighten till tight.

I made the mistake of not installing the lock plate on my ebrake cable on one side of my car. That one pad wore down like twice as fast and now i need to get a new cable. And my ebrake was defanitely feeling sluggush as a mofo, not matter how much i tightened the nut.
