E-Brake Question - Finished installation of new pads / rotors
So I got some new pads and rotors (all 4). Will post up some pics soon.
I've noticed after the install that my ebrake is not stopping as well as it use to. Before I consider tightening the cable, does anyone know if I need to drive for some amount of miles to let the calipers tighten up?
If not, where is the cable tightener located?
Thanks!

The more you use the e-brake the tighter it should get.
When you had to rotate the pistons in on the rear, that mechanism also takes out the slack and adjusts the calipers for the ebrake to contiune to work after the pad is worn.
Just continue to use your ebrake and it should tighten up if it's working correctly.
