Default E-Brake help. Squeaks after rotor install....

I just changed out my rotors and now the left e-brake makes a squeaking noise. Is there an adjustment and does anyone have a detailed picture of exactly how the wire spring goes back on? The spring popped out when I pulled the rotors and the rotors were a bear to get off. I'm not getting any excessive heat but pieces of the e-brake lining are chunking off. TIA to any and all replies. :flag :seeya

You know is just did all that...new rotors and new studs....

If your ePad is flaking better just to get new ones....

In regards to the spring... are you talking about the U shaped spring which holds the ePads to the e-brake plate (dont know exact name)?

If so, the spring holds the ePads up against the ePlate. Email me and mybe I can draw something up for you...but of course the Service Manuals (which are a must have) detail the installation.....
