I am currently working on my parking brakes and I noticed that the rubber boot that goes over the lever the actuates the parking brake at the rear backing plate is just falling apart. Does anyone have a source for this boot? I searched the places I would usually buy parts online but didn't come up with anything.

I'm sure a Chevy parts department can help you. Once the cable is removed it should slide out. I wouldn't hesitate to drive the car in the mean time with out the boot.

Check with Forum Vendor Gene Culley. If anyone can find them, he can.

I tried my Chevy dealer today and struck out. They would only sell me a $250 kit that includes the actuators, the shoes, and all the hardware. Here is the part I am looking for:

Nice find! $20 is still just a bit steep for a couple pieces of rubber, but I guess the guy knows what he's got, and it sure beats $250. Thanks for the link.
