rear brakes
ok i replaced my brakes front and back, but now my e-brake feels like it doesnt grab much, from a stop if i pull the e-brake and try to move the left rear drops and the right rear raises. i have read through some of the forums and some problems have been the self adjusters im going to try and see if i can turn if to make it snug.
the other problem i found the lever on the left rear caliper for the e-brakes feels tight and moves slowly back the rest, almost feels like it is starting to seize up but not completly frozen. do they have a rebiuld kit for it or am i going to have to replace it?
found this rebuild kit, is this all i'll need to replace it.

Thats not a repair kit for the e-brake
This is an e-brake replacement cable http://www.rockauto.com/dbphp/prt,31,0940684
I just replaced mine because the drivers side caliper did not have enough strength to overcome the friction inside the brake cable (i.e. the little spring on the caliper) so the e-brake was permanently engaged.
New cable.... works almost perfectly.... the passenger side brake is not self-adjusting as was the original reason why I replaced the calipers and then the e-brake cable

likely cable problems. I think I had posted info on this site as to my rear e-brake cable problems and some of the things I did to fix it. Look around.
In the end, I found a slightly better cable from another car (just left to right section) and lubed it up with penetrating oil.
