NISTECH, is there anyway to determine if which of the three cables needs to be replaced on my 240 or do I need to go all out and replace all pieces? They're not too cheap as you know, couple with the fact I need to do the pads and possibly the disc's as well, the ebrake is gonna put me over the top. :(

btw- I've already tried adjusting the bolt on the handle assembly.

As always any info is appreciated.

Thanks,b

I am trying to remember if this is the caliper ebrake set up or the drum in rotor set up, little help here? havent touched a set of rear brakes on one of those in over 2 yrs.

if it is the caliper set-up you likely have stretched rear cables, replace both the rear cables, you should be ok with just those.

Kind of figured as much, I guess i'll just replace them all since the front cable is only another $30+.

thanks for the help. :)
