My: Transfer Case Mounted Disc Parking Brake is useless (1 Viewer)

[Razor]

man,
what the heck, thing won't hold on any kind of hill...?

do I need to configure a diff. e-brake pull, can't get much leverage with the streight pull....

any ideas..

 

[WristPin]

is this the kit you have?

 

[WristPin]

the trucks use 3 cables to operate the stck parking brake.
the first cable is hooked to a 'Z' shaped thing.
that Z thing increases the leverage.
maybe you can visit a junkyard and get one off a truck and use it on your cruizer

WristPin, I have a feeling this is on his mini-truck.

Razor, take some pics so we can see what you're working with, then maybe we can make some suggestions.

If you manually manipulate the parking brake lever by hand, does the caliper actually clamp down on the disc?


Is your cable stretching?


When was the last time that it worked properly?


Have you adjusted it lately/Does it have any adjustment built into it?

In my case my e-brake on reard sisk never stop the cruiser as e-brake perse .. so TSM said it is coz I need to go with custom cables .. right now I thought the e-brake with disk require much more power ( press ) to hold the cruiser ..

try using one of the holes closer to the tcase. it should add some leverage and hlep hold the truck.

binding?

It looks to me like the lever might be binding on the threaded bit inside the clevis . Have you tried watching it with a buddy actuating it?

 

[peesalot]

when you use the first hole on the pull arm you gotta have 0 thread coming out the back of clevis and the arm still rubs( we grind a little to get clearance)..
