    Default Parking Brake Pads?

    whats the trick here, replaced the old ones and cant get the rotor to clear them. Adjusted it to the loosest position and the brake handle in the off position... Just had to come here and vent before the rotor fly's into my fender.

    nothing like making sure the adjuster is actually in the notch... I think the brake handle is too tight and will check.

    Gotta turn the adjuster nut (star/gear shaped dammit) back down & maybe loosen the cables under the handbrake boot:
