Changing Pads <e-brake Cable in the Way>
Hey guys, I'm having trouble changing my rear pads on my '83 gsl. It's very simple, there's the handbrake cable that I can't figure out how to get off. I need to rotate the caliper off the bracket to take the pads out of their clips. But the handbrake cable is preventing it from doing so. How do I remove this thing? Also, I won't need any advise about rotating in the piston to accommodate the new pads, I found it's very easy with two screwdrivers or a cube thingy. Thanks

Loosten the adjuster inside the car. you should get enough slack to pull the end of the cable and twist it a 1/4 turn, This lets the end slip through the atachment point on the caliper.

Wait,
There's an adjuster inside the car? Where? Pics please, this may solve my e-brake problem (if I pull it at 30mph in N you would think my tires would lock up).

The adjuster is the tall part to the right of the handle. Has a Flat screwdriver slot in the top of it. Tighten just like a bolt with the handle down. Tighten a bit and then test again.
You also have some adjustmet at the calipter. Two nuts that can be moved in and out as needed.
