    I'll be doing the E-brake this weekend (6 years old) I have a set of rotors coming in so I figured I will do a complete overhaul. Why is it a pain? Any pointers if you guys have done it? I will be getting the kit as well with all new hardware so I will have no problems down the road.

    E-Brake isnt a pain, just ensure that the pads are not tight in the rotor, when i was adjusting the e-brake the cable broke at the handle, $28 piece with 4 hrs of labour but found alot of loose change. To change the cable from the handle was a pain, took apart the center console, took out the drv seat and the rear seat center and passenger side and pulled up the carpet, almost 4 hours, cable was the only issue not the pads.

    I wasnt refering to the rear e-brake pads being a pain to swap out. I was refering to tearing apart the center console and the 4 hour job it takes to replace broken parts.
