mike, trust me, that was a tongue in cheek response.
but i'm definitely getting more familiar, and it is a giant p.i.t.a.
i have actually jacked the brake mechanism up so high that it lifted the tuck, re-set the brake lines so that they engage with way more tightness, and still have no real discernible braking from the e-brake. while it has gotten harder to push on flat ground, i can still push it, and on an incline, it rolls as though there is no brake engaged at all. next step is to take everything down to the calipers, and see if the pads are glazed, or whether the caliper piston is pushing out all the way, or what.
if i could, i'd go back to drums, but it's done, so i'll keep working on it until it works.
are they the caddy brakes? if so, pm me, and i'll tell you some of what i've learned, but, the bottom line is... it's very finicky, and absolutely not an easy endeavor.
