Re: understanding the e-brake 200 89

posted by  someone claiming to be Jessie on  Tue Sep 25 13:18 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Can you drive the car? The power of the motor should overwhelm the emergency brake pads. If you loosen off your cable you should be able to pull the pads and rotor off. The only thing holding the pads on in the horizontal plane is 2 flimsy springs which snap off really easily. If something is frozen in there I would bet on the shoe lever. You might want to take out the bolts for the shoe lever bracket. this will give you more play in the bracket. are you sure the rotor is not rusted to the hub?
