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.

Depends on what your definition of complete is.
I found "complete" rear kits for 9146's but havent seen a "complete" kit for the 4cyl caliper. I see kits with seals and such.. but the 9146 kit has everything but new pistons (new steel cups for the ebrake and everything) B |
