I bought my 1999 LX couple of months ago and I have been driving it with out E brake. The E brake cable that runs across the rear axle is loose, there is no tension in the cable. I have been wanting to fix it but some other maintenance stuff just consumed too much time and not having a garage also delayed it a bit.
I bought a rebuild kit off of ebay (weird springs and stuff), and shoes for it as well. do I need something else? I am asking this question because I borrow my aunts garage for a day or 2 and I want to have all the parts on hand because leaving the car over night is not an option. I found some threads on 80 series parking brakes but could not locate one from 100.
I want to fix this asap esp after reading some threads on master cylinder issue causing brake loss on highways. If I do not have an E brake it can turn ugly.
I also checked my brake fluid and it looks like it has not been flushed in a while, if I flush it now can it lead to mc failure. I am on a very tight budget and a loss of mc is something that I will not be able to replace.
Off topic question: does any body know the size of transmission cross member bolts?
Thank You for your help.
