Driver's side caliper, parking brake won't disengage all the way now, is this normal? Haven't tried putting the wheel back on and driving yet, I have to pull the spring back further if I use the parking brake to get the wheel to move.

on these cars, you cant rule out the actual e-brake lines freezing up, dirt debris and water get in there and rot them away, my mechanic had to dissconect me e-brake connection to one of my rear-calipers because of this. could be a part or all of the problem.
