There are two cables and a bunch of other hardware.  And it's a bitch 
to get to (buried under heat shields and the exhaust).  You probably 
don't want to mess with it unless really necessary.  You can try 
adjusting it -- there's a bolt head under the lever you can reach 
with a long extension.  I think it's supposed to have "8 clicks" on 
the lever when adjusted.

Or your calipers might be fubar.  Super Deal:  AutoZone has a pair of 
loaded calipers (new everything, including pads) for $90.
