    Hello,

    Just wondering if somebody could point me to how to adjust the E-brake so I can install some new rear rotors. Already did the front. Started the back but then realized that the e-brake had to be adjusted to get the caliper on.

    There is a cog on the bottom of the e-brake drum to adjust them.

    When you say e-brake drum do you mean the rear of the caliper where the e-brake cable is connected and there is a spring.

    i think you are refering to the special tool that rotates the piston into the caliper. The tool is availble at any auto part store but i dont how to use it exactly. I just know that you need a tool that spins the piston back into the caliper.

    Dont quote me on that because i only worked on one car that had this and it did not work.

    If it is an 04+ you'll need to rent the rear caliper piston tool from autozone. Is's really easy to use and turns the piston back into the caliper.
