Emergency Break

[NOLASTI]

Hey yall,


Im Aiden Harris on the facebook page, so Ill just ask my previous question: "My Emergency Break sticks a bit at the top and is extremely difficult to pull you hear a squeak and feel resistance, more than normal"
Any ideas?

Sounds like the cable could be bad.

Did you take it to a dealer to see if its covered under warranty?

 

[NOLASTI]

I agree... it sounds like the cable or mechanism is corroded or dirty.

Any resolution to this?

Not wanting to hijack but have a related question. My e brake is getting weak and I need (according to dealership) replace the parking brake pads on the rear of the rotor. Since I'm a DIY guy went parts stores and they all told me I can only buy the whole assembly... really?!

 

[Grinder34]

Did they actually check the pads? I'd try the adjuster on the ebrake lever unit itself first.

 

[Z1107]

They are worn and need new pads, but I can't find them.

 

[Z1107]

Never just for parking.

 

[Z1107]

I'll check the cable, but if it is the pads where do I get them without having to by a whole new assembly?

Thanks Gino.
