do you have to disconnect the e brake cable to apply new disc pads and if so what is the procedure?

 

Welcome to the site. I will move this thread to the Caravan section,

No, you have to turn the piston into the caliper with a special tool. I have the proceedure posted on somebody's thread. Probably for an '08 or '09.

Hi All,

Just did my rear brakes and rotors on my 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan.

Only need to take the caliper of guide pins. and then the caliper housing.

I used this tool to screw the piston back in

It was tough at the start and later loosened up.

I used a sledge Hammer to get the rotor off and when I put it back on I used a little anti-seeze.

I bought the brakes from Prime Choice Auto. These parts are made in China but I think for the price of the quality is quite high. I bought other parts from china before at Lordco and those castings were very rough. The ones from Prime choice seemed pretty good.

Since it cost only 90$ for the whole set of pads and rotors for rear I decided to take a chance.

They are in Canada and USA.
