When I got the car the right rear e-brake cable was disconnected from the caliper. Now I know why. The brake drags but not always. I intend to check the venting clearance first but it seems to me that if that is the problem it should not come and go. Is it likely that something is hanging up in the caliper (e-brake mechanism? pistons?) or could the cable be sticking sometimes? Or all of the above? Any advice appreciated.

QUOTE When I got the car the right rear e-brake cable was disconnected from the caliper My car is ezzactly the same. I had to lube the e-brake arm a whole bunch - at the caliper- it turns out it was not returning the last little smidge causing the brake to drag on that one side, I guess the PO disconnected it then pushed it back to 'released position' so it wouldn't drag. I had to pry back and forth and lube to get it loose enough to return. I also had to adjust the cable (via the cable housing) on that side to 'shorten' it. the adjustment is under the car- sorta right behind/below the drivers butt. 2 nust (you heard me- NUST!), *ahem* NUTS lock the cable housing and by changing where there are on the threaded end of the cable you change the length of it. I still get a high pitched *squeek squeek* right after releasing the ebrake and driving off. But thats life. |
