there is an adjustment for the emergency parking brakes that you have to back out... there is a nut/cap that is a 10MM, right next to the rubber bellows that covers the emergency brake cable, just flex it over a little and you can get a 10mm deep on it. I use a 1/4" set here, it doesn't have too much torque. It's a hex cap with a copper washer on my 94 Aero. once removed you need to put an allen in the hole, I forget is it's a 4,5, or 6. I have one of those inexpensive pep boys sets of metric allens that are 1/4" drive. you need to back it out to the stop (lefty loosie...) just set the ratchet as though it was in front of you instead of on the other side... after you get the pads in and all is done (and this is the part I forgot the first time...) you need to screw in item *in*, spin the rotor as you are doing this, when the rotor get stopped or drags - turn the screw the *other* way two complete turns. You can check the emergency brake handle for tension now, if it goes all the way to the top it's a little loose. Don't forget to put the cap back on...
