Re: [DML] parking brake dragging too much?

Walt - Sorry ... I assumed that several people would chime in with 
all kinds of good advice. That word "assume" can get us in trouble 
sometimes. In addition to your discovery of how the parking brake 
works, you may want to keep an eye on the little brass spring that is 
used to keep the pads retracted. It looks like a little wide-spread 
fork. I have seen many cracked and completely broken. When this 
happens, the pad rides on the rotor until it's gone, and then the e-
brake caliper begins to wear on the rotor (personal experience). The 
spring is common to Jaguar ... part number 9750.
