E-brake setup question
Hi all
I have finished with my e-brake install and I have cut the outer sheathing to length for my cable block ( lokar) I have left the actual cables about a foot long for now until I have determined their length. These will be pinched at the double set screws later. BTW I have four wheel discs here's the catch, I have yet to fill and bleed my regular brakes.....so can I set up my cable pull e- brake now?? Or should the hydraulics be done first? Tim |
Why ya so worried about E-brakes when you don't have working regular brakes? You should be able to do the e-brake adjusting without having the fluid system working yet, since the e-brake is mech and the reg brakes are hyd. What disks are out back?

These are what my rear discs look like it's from a site I have used for info before. I get the understanding that the calipers should be done hydraulically first then the mechanical e-brake next. The mechancial e-brake relies on the caliper to pinch the disc. Tim |
NICE PIC
Looks like a floating single piston caliper. So the e-brake forces the whole caliper inboard (on the car) relative to the mounting bracket? As long as there is no big air gap between the outboard pad and the rotor, you should be able to do it. But I have never done that style, so this is only speculation. |
