    Friends,

    Had my rear brakes cleaned & adjusted last week. Everything feels pretty good...braking seems to be a little more "snug" if that makes sense. However, noticed that my E-brake is a little tougher to press down. It's not impossible, but just more resistant. Wanted to see if this was standard when having rear brakes adjusted...let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

    Had it done for the second time in 240k miles last week. I did not notice any change in my eBrake, but they might have also adjusted your eBrake as well.

    As an "Engineering Professor," I'm sure your mind works on levels my "Counseling Psyche" doesn't comprehend. Thanks again.
