Now move your attention to the emergency brake cable. If its boot is in bad shape, replace the boot. It is a good idea if you live in a cold climate with road salt and harsh winters to pull that boot back and pack as much anti seize or grease in the cable and boot as you can to prevent water from entering the cable sheath and either corroding it or simply freezing and locking the emergency brake on. Should the emergency brake freeze on you in the winter, do not drive the car, reach in and remove the cable from the arm allowing it to release. BUT MAKE SURE THE CAR WON'T ROLL OVER YOU AFTER YOU RELEASE THE ARM.
Once you get the cable in good condition, reinstall it into the arm on the caliper. Make sure the cable does not pull on the arm with the emergency brake released. If it does, you need to adjust the cable. On the converse to this, it shouldn't extend past the arm either. Pull back on the arm to make sure it is fully returning. If it is, then tighten the cable by turning its end clockwise. you will hear clicks from inside the car as you turn indicating the cable is being adjusted. If the cable is really hard to turn from here, stop. You will have to go the end in the interior (remove the console) to adjust it. The cable, when properly adjusted should just touch the arm, but be neither loose or pull the arm at all.
