My parking brake broke on me a few days ago it does not click when you pull it up like the gear is not engaging?

Anyone have this problem I need to get it inspected?

 

common with the C5s... ya need to get the e-brake readjusted.

requires removing rear wheels, calipers (need to breaker bar to loosen a PIA bolt) and adjust the starwheel that controls position of the ebrake drum.

 

Thanks for the reply but its not that it doesnt hold the ratchet in the brake handle doent hold the handle in place?????

 

I think there is a TSB on this issue.

 

Your have a broken E-brake handle/ratchet... you will need to replace broken parts either by dealer or call the Kar Shop (forum vendor) for used parts.

When your setup is working again you can adjust the parking brake shoes by removing the rear rotors as others here have mentioned.

Thank you very much I will be calling the Kar shop.

 

Hey Nolag, you may want to call your dealer on this, some body posted a thread a while back and said that this E brake problem is a safty issue with GM and should fix it for nothing

 

thank you very much for the info
