OK, so within the last mont I have had to replace my driver's side door jamb switch, hood latch and cable, Blend door actuator and today I just got done replacing both rear calipers. One was seized up so I figured I would replace everything on the end of the brake line.

Another thing I am trying to tackle is my e-brake. It dosen't work. Normally this wouldn't bother me, but I am about to move to Alaska and I am going to ship my vehicle (at governments expense ). The company I am shipping through requires that the e-brake is operational. When I decided to do my brakes I noticed that my e-brake shoes are fine. I just figured I would need to adjust it. I crawled under and the adjuster is UBER-rusted. I have tried everything. Then I noticed that the flat part of the adjuster rod was actually twisting. Any suggestions out there. WD-40 didn't work and heat didn't work.

I hope the road gremlins leave my vehicle soon. I am getting a little tired of working on things like this.

 

Use bright light. water will only make the problem worse...

Hit it with PB Blaster. Tap it with a hammer. Blast. Hammer. It will loosen up eventaully. If heat didn't work, dont try it again after blasting... you will be "unhappy" with the results...


Could be worse though. You could be this moron's parents. Nice helmet Evil Knievel...
