Parking brake won't engage

[Jbcustom420]

So a few days ago I went and installed new brake pads on my car. I went with the HAWK HPS. In taking off the pads, we are called to release the parking brake cable from the caliper. After finishing the job I reseated the cable and now the parking brake no longer has any grip.

My hope is its just the wire is a little loose at the e-brake handle. Please post a reply if you have any advice what to do.

Mean while I'll be posting a how-to install big brake/new calipers.

there is already a how to in the how-to section, sounds to me like you need to adjust the pads using the allen bolt, just check out the how to it is all there...

Thanks Keon...I guess I wasn't paying much attention to it as it didnt actually say rear brake caliper install. Assumed that when they said switching out the pads thats all they were doing. I'll go ahead and delete the posting.
