I attempted to adjust the rear portion of the parking brakes and found that the threads on one side of the adjuster were all stripped I think too much e-brake

 I think too much e-brake pulling lol Its part 44200 that you're supposed to spin to adjust and mine just kept spinning.

Although, if you're e-brake pulling for fun, of course it would be fucked. It's not meant for that.

They were definitely stripped. I pulled the rotor/hub off and actually saw the threads gone on one side of the adjuster. There are two threaded sides which extend/retract depending on direction adjusted. Fortunately my parking brake still works pretty good with the front portion adjusted to match the rear where I adjusted with just one threaded side moving. I'll eventually replace those pieces... about $25 each.

 At least they are cheap. Pretty easy to replace?

Super easy to replace, just takes a few minutes. Hardest part for me was either getting the stuck rotor off or dealing with the springs that hold it in, but easy job.
