Re: understanding the e-brake 200 85

posted by  someone claiming to be patrick of montreal on  Wed Sep 26 01:43 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I just removed my rear disks and even with a functioning e-brake it was a pain. Cutting the cable will definitly allow you to pull the entire assembly out. I would use a slide hammer and a wedge of wood. Hook the hammer through the little hole and have somebody push in the wedge as you slide hammer, also pen., oil at the hub nd bolt connections. But you know, if it's seized and you are going to disable it anyhow, just cut the cable near the backing plate and drive the car, the shoes themselves don't rust to the drum so even if the actuator is siezed it should all work loose.
