E-brake cable at rear caliper

[kitcho]

I'm trying to change my rear brake pads but I need some slack in the e-brake cable. What am I supposed to do? My e-brake is disengaged. Thanks

I had the same problem and had to beat the sh*t out of the thing to get the cable free. After that it took a ton of work with pb blaster and a vice to free the caliper. You might be better off buying a new caliper.

Once I figured out I needed to disconnect the cable and unbolt the e-brake mount, it was simple. After doing that and removing the securing bolt, you can flip open the caliper and replace the pads.

 

agreed vice grips and patience help accomplish this
