1995 ebrake on
I just bought this car and have determined the ebrake is slightly on 100% of the time. I did try and use the brake 3 different times to try and turn it off. You can hear the drag on the rotors. I just put new rotors and pads on last week.
My question is I live in Illinois where it is flat and I have an automatic. Can I just remove the springs from the caliber and fasten up the cable so it is out of the way? I could care less about using the ebrake.

The self adjustment only takes up slack in the cables. To loosen them there is a procedure involving the parking brake handle that has to be done. Check the service manual for the steps involved. Makes it much easier to install new rear pads also.

Rather than just 'caring less' get an FSM and do it right. The FSM will be very useful for the future and proper maintenance!
