Forgotten7angel 1 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Well it took a few Ohio winters but I wore out my e brake doing stupid things in the snow. My question for you guys being, do you know how the e brake works o. The spark? I've seen a few different configurations on different cars and I was wondering if I just have to buy like a set of e brake pads for it, or if I'm looking at a whole assembly or somthing. Anyway any input here would be helpful. I'll probably be replacing my brake shoes next weekend and I'll probably tear into that project as well. (my spark has 100k miles on it, I'd say it's time) Link to post Share on other sites
Retired old Gearhead 201 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 E-Brake is cable to rear brakes..no xtra brake shoes for the e-brake just activates the rear brakes via cables. Link to post Share on other sites
Forgotten7angel 1 Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 Sweet. I was hoping it would be a simple set up like that, so new shoes solves all of my problems. Thank you very much Link to post Share on other sites
Retired old Gearhead 201 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Just make sure you ask them to adjust the E-brake cable since the new pads may be thicker or thinner than the OEM. BTW, just curious if your exhaust piping is still not rusted thru and still intact after the salty roads up your way? Link to post Share on other sites
Forgotten7angel 1 Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Surface rust for sure but it was still solid when I popped it off a few weeks ago. The only thing that was rusted seriously were the flange bolts,those are unusable already. The rest of the car seems to be holding up pretty well against the salt actually.
