Pull up on the hand brake about 3-5 notches. Pump the service brake about 20 times. Release the hand brake. Pump the service brake a couple times. The hand brake should hold at 7 notches.
Sometimes you have to drive around awhile to bed the pads for a robust hold. I always bed my new pads in the same day...10 moderately hard slowdowns from 70-20 or whatever is safe (sometimes just hold the brake and the gas pedal for 10 seconds to heat em up!). The main thing is DO NOT set the hand brake on a hot caliper/pad!!!! If you do, you'll transfer material from the pad to the rotor and it may not come off right away..gives pulse.
If the emergency brake doesn't adjust, you may have defective front calipers. YOu can try to move the brake piston out (use the brake piston tool and move it 1/2 turn at a time...you still have to get the new pads back in and if you go too far it will be too tight!. This may not work if you have old rotors with a ridge on the outside...too hard to get the pads by the ridge.
