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
