I bought the car with several known problems. One being a on working parking brake. The handle is there but the ratcheting mechanism did not seem to work. When I pulled the carpet out to survey for rust - (there is one hole - quarter sized - thru the floor that I saw immediately) I also noticed a decent sized chunk of metal that looked like it may have been part of the parking brake cable mechanism. Maybe it held the cable and some sort of angle. I took a peek underneath - I am squezzed in my one car garage right now due to excessive shelving which has got to go but the drivers side rear brake seems to be linked ok to the PB. The two PB cables in the cabin near the firewall seem to move but I don't know if they move al the way thru the cable sheathing. When I pull the PB handle up - all the way - the cable never gets pulled - as if it is too loose. Any ideas - comments. thanks. |

Thank you - HPH - I am a newbie - does HPH have a url or phone number. I may have enough parts but need to figure out how this thing works. The two notched piece attached to the parking brake handle is released by pushing the button at the tip of the parking brake lever - my question is what pushed thos two notched piece downward onto the multi toothed piece - a spring or gravity?
I also felt around and can tell the the cable attachment is not connected to the caliper - I assume this may be the case on both sides. Hopefully my parts car has the connection clip or whatever it is that attached the cables to the calipers. thank again jim (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) |
