Re: understanding the e-brake 200 85

Evan -

Are you saying that the wheel rotates OK? If yes, the e-brake shoes must not be frozen to the rotor, right? Maybe rusted on to the backing plate. I assume you have already tried to whack it from behind the plate using a heavy hammer or something.

Is there a way to get off even the whole half-shaft assembly? They are pretty standard across 240's, maybe a swap would be easiest.

I don't thing the e-brake cable will slip through the sheath b/c of the way the front end has a terminus to be held by the brake handle system.

I feel your frustration. Wish I could offer more.

Good Luck,

Bob
