When I got the car the right rear e-brake cable was disconnected from the caliper. Now I know why. The brake drags but not always. I intend to check the venting clearance first but it seems to me that if that is the problem it should not come and go. Is it likely that something is hanging up in the caliper (e-brake mechanism? pistons?) or could the cable be sticking sometimes? Or all of the above? Any advice appreciated.

Could be a sticky e-brake cable. Or, could the spreader spring be missing/broken? I'm not sure how much they really do, in any case. Just a couple of suggestions. I am by no means a brake expert. (I still haven't got mine working right)
