    Soo I recently replaced my back rotors to ones that are all shiny and not warped. This was all fine and dandy until I found out that the parking brake doesn't work anymore. The passenger side one (aka the one with the parking brake) was a pita to get off, and i had to hit it with hammer to get it off. I know i had the parking brake on at one point in time but i'm pretty sure i took it off before actually pulling the rotor. Not entirely sure tho. Anywho if anyone has any ideas of what could be wrong that would be fantastic. I'll try to upload some pics of the parking brake assembly tomorrow sometime in case i'm like missing some shoes or something. Thanks!

    Likely you'll have to take both sides apart, clean them or just buy a kit to replace the parts and put it back together and adjust them correctly.

    Then everything should work and not hang up.

    theres a adjuster star wheel, the shoes need to be opened up. the size of the e brake drum can change with new rotors.

    or the e brake shoes are gone. aka shot.
