I have the 88 t-bird straight axle with disc brakes and I am using new M2809a e-brake cables. I just finished install of e-brake handle & cables.
Everything appears fine except when I pull then release the ebrake handle I notice the e-brake levers on the calipers don't return to the fully released position. The calipers still seem to be applying pressure to the rotor. Just a small amount of leverage with a screw driver directly on the caliper e-brake lever releases them the rest of the way.
When I installed the handle I did need to pull the cable with the "t" from the e-brake handle out to meet the cables from the rear end so there is always some tension but it didn't seem that significant.
I can't quite see any adjustment at the handle to help any more. Suggestions?
Thanks!
