? about how E brake works.
When the e brake is engaged on a C5, does it only lock the rear calipers? or fronts also? Thankyou!!

Mechanical cable to the rears only. And only locks if you've adjusted the star wheel inside the drum. Mine when purchased couldn't have stopped a dinky toy.

Park Brake has Drum Brakes on inside of rotors.
On the inside of rotor (rear end side) there is a drum brake system for the parking brakes. It has a star wheel to adjust the drum.
