Changed my rear pads today....they are fine....broke them in just like I was supposed to. I didn't change anything other than that. There was no brake fluid or any fluid under the rotors. When I engage the e-brake...it is loose. It works and the car isn't moving....I pulled up on it about 20 times to reset it after I changed the pads...but...do I need to bleed the brakes out? Or is only when I am disconnecting hoses and what not? My logic would lead me to believe that this is normal because the piston in the caliper does not have to move that far...would I be correct?

And just for clarification...the e-brake does work...the car doesn't move.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

It works, the car doesn't move, but it's "loose"?

define loose?

It sound like the cables need to be adjusted to take the slack out?https://mustangforums.com/forum/2005...cable-pix.html

I will try that. When I pull the ebrake handle up...there is almost no tension in it. Like I said....it works...but I am worried that I screwed it up.
