Why only 2 pads? Did you only change one side?

it would be obvious, at stops or after driving your brakes would be smoking,also you can put it in neutral and see if it rolls freely

also the way he adjusted the e-brake was that he went into the brake opened up a small hole and cranked a few notches.
