Default Raptor parking brake

Hey guys, I know this isn't really important, but I just need a little help with my park brake. I just put new pads on the back of my raptor. To bottom out the piston, I had to turn the bolt all the way out on the caliper. Now I can't seem to get my brake cable adjusted right. I've tried adjusting it at the handle and at the caliper but it doesn't work out. I know some people would say just get rid of the parking brake all together, but I usually just throw the rap in the back of my truck and lock the brake intead of tying it down. Thanks for any help![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

To adjust the parking brake. You want 2 1/2" from the center of the cable end to the cable holder edge on the caliper. To adjust that you use the adjusting screw on the handlebars front brake lever bracket. Once you have that measurment, you turn the parking brake bolt clockwise on the caliper until resistance is felt. Then back it off 1/8 of a trun, then tighten the locknut.

I was wondering, what would be the easiest way to totally eliminate the parking brake? Is it an easy task?
