parking brake issues
i have a 2000 with disk brakes and the parking brake inside the drum , has anyone had problems with the brake actuator, i can push the p-brake pedal to the floor and nothing happens, the cable is tight at the wheel but the shoes dont move.

I have had issues with the parking brake as well...
I ended up.replacing the parking brake pads and the hardware thats operates it...I would recomend the kit from Rockauto that has all hardware included . Including the rubber boots That fit around the actuator arm....use grease inside the adjuster cups And I needed to clean the lip of the rotor so the parking brake pads Would not excessevly drag when installing the rotor onto The brake assy..you mat also need to loosen the parking brake cable to Adjust the parking brake shoe properly...also i found that Adjusting the parking brake is a little tricky...there are three points of adjustment An adjuster on each wheel, then the cable adjuster on the Driver side along the frame rail....look at how it works ..when The parking brake pedal is pressed only one side is adjustable then to adjust The other side its done with the star adjuster in the wheel... Sorry for the long reply...but it took me a little while to figure It out... |
thanks ill check it out next time i have it apart
