Good Day, My daughter Andrea has purchased a car, a 2003 Honda CRV. I'm looking for an honest shop she could take it to, she says a CEL just showed up. Being 4 hours away (one way) makes it difficult for me to take a look :). Anyone know a place?
No fun pressure washing in 10º f temperatures, plus having to turn all the hose bibs back on. Then draining freezing hoses, laying in the snow pressure washing not my idea of a good time. I live 30 miles from the nearest car wash, so by the time I got home it would need pressure washing again...
Lol, agreed, but at least they will be attached. When I pulled the rotor off, springs, pins and other parts fell out of the rotor, the shoes had also delaminated in there. I have never owned a LC that the parking brake worked efficiently, and I've had quite a few LC's over the last 35 years...
Top picture is right side (NA passenger), bottom pic is left side. Looks like the orientation is correct, I reinstalled the dogbones per the pictures I took
Hi Mark, I have no idea if anything is original in there, not even the orientation. This is my first 80 parking brake experience. I asked @jonheld (cruiser guru, I think he was on the LCML from way back) if the pics look correct
Hi Jon, I took the above pics prior to disassembly (obviously, Duh) Do the shoe struts look correct? I have never replaced the parking brakes since owning this rig and you can never tell who did what prior to.
Got it, I haven't taken a look but I'm guessing these springs attach to the bell crank on the axle side (not inside the rotor) same as a 60 series drum brake. I thought that spring looked familiar, I probably have a few kicking around in my 60 series brake parts bin. Good thing I still have 60...
Yup, aftermarket. I believe you are correct, I just had a look in my debris pile from when parts were falling out as I removed the rotor, I don’t see that spring anywhere. Problem solved, cheers
So I did something I rarely do, took apart both parking brakes. I did take a ton of pictures, but for the life of me I can’t seem to find where this spring goes
Had a bit of an exhaust issue, the pipe broke off the collector. Started shopping for a replacement but soon realized the cost was not currently in the budget. Apparently you need to buy the collector and cat as one unit. Never tried OEM, but aftermarket was running around $750.00 CDN (that's...
