brakes

[bova17]

so i put new rear brake pads on and broke the caliper on the driver side. got new caliper and now the ebrake doesnt work on that side. but it worked when we first tried now it doesnt. nothing happened to the cable.

did u bleed it? an u have to bleed both rear breaks to

[bova17]

Yea we did. Sorry I left that out do you know if the ebrake cable can become loose on just one side

[240man91]

i have never really looked at mine, but on most cars it can come undone where the cable from the ebrake hooks up the cable that runs the back breaks. just look under the car in the middle an u should be able to see it, its right abovr the drive shaft an make sure the cable did not come unhooked from the wheel. an if it worked be for then it came unhooked some where, when u push the back breaks u do have break on that side right? an there is an adjust ment but is on the cable that comes off the ebrake. an there is one at the handle of the ebreak. but if one grabs the other should.

ok, i got out the book, lol an there is a adjuster looks like the pass side of the car at the end of cable under the car try that.

Thanks man I will have to take a look at it maybe tommorrow because it's raining. But it felt like it popped off when I pulled the ebrake so I bet it could be the connection above the drive shaft
I'll post if I get it fixed

so i took a look at everything and found out nothing was loose and its even applying pressure, but not enough on the drivers side. so nothings broke. its weird b/c the rubber boot thingys on the passenger side collapse except at the caliper. the driver side is completely opposite the rubber boots dont collapse except at the caliper. so im just going to leave it alone b/c ive tightend the ebrake cable at the handle so the car doesnt roll. i will fix it when i do my z32 brake and 5 lug swap

in less u wnat to go five lug u can just put the z32 break on its just as good with out all the work an there is an adjust ment under the car for that side just jack it up an look u will see it
