When te ebrake is not engaged, it has become very loose. I dont know if when completely removing my calipers, or installing the short shifter i may have messed something up, but it is no where near as firm as it used to be when not engaged. Takes little to no effort to move it around. Was noticeable after i painted my calipers, but when i installed short-shifter, its def night and day.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be helpful.

Thanks!
