pitzel Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 The parking brake cable on my 1992 is dangling with about 3 inches of slack, not tight, beneath the driver side front passenger door. In a nutshell, what do I to fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbeat1991 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 New cables. If it's that far stretched, no amount of adjustment is going to fix it. It could even have broken somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitzel Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Okay figured it out. The mechanism on the caliper itself wasn't pulling out the slack. I don't use the e-brake that much, so that part of the mechanism on the driver side rear caliper had sort of seized. About 50 cycles and blows with the hammer later, it seems to be working better.

Schurkey Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Using the park brake keeps the rear calipers adjusted. You don't use the park brake, you have caliper problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
