As you can see in the picture it's bottomed out on the e-brake unless there's some other type of adjustment?

it's too back i can't find a picture of one with it all the back (open).

your link didn't take me to the caliper but i found the picture, and saw how close the 2 part come together.

thanks!

i ended up putting 1 new pad with a old one to get me through the holidays, if it was the front that would be a different story.
