May not be the emergency brake cable Posted by Bill Homer [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: how hard is it to change emergency brake wire, nite9000, Wed, 9 Jul 2008 14:02:26 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Have someone set and unset the parking brake while you watch the end of the cable at the wheel - you may need to pull the wheel off, or maybe not. The cable may not be broken, the non-functioal parking brake may be the result of improperly installing replacement rear brake pads - there is a well-hidden adjuster screw that needs to be used to retract the caliper piston. My car, purchased used, came with this fault.
If the cable is good, all you need to do is replace the broken caliper with a rebuilt one. I understand (and have never done it) that replacing at least one side of the cable requires dropping the gas tank, not trivial.
