Hey guys so i've never messed with e-brakes (

), and i need some advice. I have a hatch and One of my rear tires does not lock up like it should compared to the other side.. How can i adjust this? Thanks in advance for the help.

is their a noticeable difference in pad wear? how are you so sure? i'm not really questioning you just curious as to how you've reached this verdict lol

check the wear pattern.

if your inner pads are more worn the the outer one, you might have a bad caliper.

but if your talking about the ebrake... theres a cable under neat the car you just have to tightened up with a 8mm or 10mm iirc.
