or read the Saab service manual.
New pads/caliper installs require a certain amount of adjusting or pedal pushing (with ebrake handle moved up 5 notches) before they're adjusted...the handbrake is supposed to hold at 7 notches.
For all practical purposes it can take awhile longer for the pads to bed to the rotors or until the pedal is really solid.
The ebrake lever clearance is set by the adjustment nut on the handle...and the left nut adjusts the right caliper (assuming the OEM cables were installed correctly and haven't been changed out incorrectly).
