No e-brake?

Installed the front and rear brakemotive rotors and pads over the weekend on my base and since then my ebrake doesnt seem to be grabbing at all. Checked all the diy's but dont see anywhere it mentioning anything special for the ebrake. Any ideas?

tighten the ebrake cable, the ebrake uses the parking brake shoes in the hub so it has nothing to do with outside pads

you need to readjust the rear drum brakes after removing the rotor! Check the 3G service dept. for scans on how to.

i got another question, thought i might as well ask it here instead of making a new thread. i also got the brakemotive brakes and was wondering if u used the shims off the stock brake pads on the new brake pads? in the manual is says to use them but they dont fit at all, so im guessing i dont have to use it, i just put them in with nothing on except for what they came with.

and im also getting a sound comming from the rear brake, when im braking from say 80-90 km/h, it sounds like a grinding noise?
