ste91 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Have you tightened it up properly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jason_T Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 probably stupid asking, and get slated for this..but was the handbrake up or down when you fitted this? as if was up then when you put it down with new one on it would be super loose....again stupid question but seen it done before.

ToyotaTech15 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 When you replaced it did you wind the piston on the caliper back atol?Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tha Dragon Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 When you replaced it did you wind the piston on the caliper back atol?GaryNo, a couple a months ago i replaced the pads and it was working fine but i didn't have no e-brake cable and now that i have one i think it just needs to adjust? if not can someone give me some pointers on how to adjust or fix it?Thank in advanceTha Dragon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mizlopi Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 have looked underneath and tightend the cable (i think its above the exhaust on these could be wrong) tighten it until it starts touching the disk slightly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 If the handbrake is coming up high or not adjusted right, take off the caliper and wind the piston back then when it's all back together pump the foot brake until you get a good pedal don't touch the handbrake until you have done the foot brake.That is how they adjust on the disc setup Maybe worth doing it on both sides to insure correct adjustmentHope this helpsGary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
