I would lube the cables at the rear (where they split off) to both sides and also ensure the Park Brake Lever - on both calipers are fully returning. I do not think the cable is stretched; something is holding the cable from fully returning.

With that said - there is an adjustment (nut) at the parking brake handle itself - under boot but I would check the cables first, as one might be hanging up and this might also allow the park brake to hang up - burning down the pads.

So, I would jack up the rear and ensure you do not have a dragging brake.

I ended up adjusting the nut, pretty straight forward, thanks for the help.

Did you adjust the parking nut or the emergency nut? ?
