Re: E-brake question
They are not that good I have a drive that is close to 20% grade and it just holds if you push as you describe, my new 05 is no different.
The Ebrake is just a small drum unit inside the rear rotors at most 10" in dia more like 8-9 it just does not do all that much, try stopping with it once, you will need some room for sure.
If you have oil getting in there they would be down to about nothing and since they are never heated up they will not "self clean"
Just my thoughts
