?#$% E-Brake Still Don't Work!!!! Need Help!
I have not been able to figure it out yet. Iam losing patience and becoming frustrated.
So far...here's whats been done:
Replaced Drivers Side Caliper
Replaced Brake Pads
Replaced E-brake cable to left (drivers side) (cable had a kink in it...so figured better replace it)
I have tried pulling up on ratchet 3 or 4 times to readjust it.
all said and done iam right back at square one.
pulling it up to full on position will NOT hold the car...it still rolls
any help greatly appreciated

I adjusted mine using the info in haynes manual. Now i feel like i could park on a wall. Did you adjust the shoes thru the hole in the disc? Did you slacken park brake cable before doing the shoe adjustement?

Re: ?#$% E-Brake Still Don't Work!!!! Need Help! (AGENT 86)
iam sorry.....my b....I never put up information on the year of my car......which is a 1990....so it differs from the 87-89 setups....I don't have an equalizer and from what I have read in both my haynes and Helms manuals....there is no fine tuning at all...except by cranking the adjuster up a couple of times....but hey if I have overlooked something....please somebody chime in!
thanks again
jeff
