Hey Everyone,
My emergency brake was not working, so I replaced the shoes, the driver's side had completely shredded and fell apart when I pulled it all apart. After replacing the shoes I tried the brake again. It didn't hold, so I figured the cable must be stretched, I tried adjusting it, but it had already be completely tightened.
So I ended up replacing the cables, both the left and right one, however there is still a lot of slack in the cable and the brake still doesn't hold enough to pass inspection. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've adjusted the adjuster in the console all the way in and it barely helped. How else could I take up the slack in the cable? Are there any other adjustments that I missed?
