Well i did one of the wheel bearings myself. I jacked up the rear of
the car and continued to pull off the rotor when it just would not
come off. I worked at it for about 30 minutes when it finally
decides to move a bit. Well at that point i realized i had my e
brake on!!!! Don't laugh i could have swore i let it off but only
halfway down i guess. So after that the rotor came off just fine.
Well when i put everything back together the wheel made a weird
noise when i moved it, kinda like the e brake rubbing. So i pulled
off the rotor again and adjusted the ebrake so it moved in as far as
it could. It made less of a noise but still rubbed. So i just
figured that it would eventually set itself by driving around. I
didn't hear anything until today when i noticed the ebrake rubbing
on that wheel. It's a little sound that i can hear at low mph,
around 15 or so. But when it get to 25 or more i can't hear a damn
thing and its quiet as hell. I'm not too familiar with this type of
ebrake system but can that hurt anything or is it just fine?
 
is it released all the way?
i think there is an adjustment laying on the rear swingarm where you can increase the reach of the cable
