2001 rear disc brake parking brake help?
I just aquired a 2001 sierra with rear disc brake and I noticed that the parking brake goes all to the floor I have it all apart right now and I can't seem to get it adjusted I am starting to wonder if the cables are bad because no matter what I do the will still go to the floor any pointers?
There is a little bit of adjustment where the 2 parts of the cable go together under the driver's door. Did you replace the shoes? Are the adjusters working correctly?
yeah I adjusted the the parking brake underneith the rotors it is working and the adjuster under the cab is completely out of threads it acts as if there is something wrong with a cable or the parking brake pedal but it is not supposed to go to the floor with pushing with my hand right, I have never had one of these late models with the rear discs always the drums so I am not sure how it is supposed to be.
eh, just throw all that crap away. If brakes fail, drop it in 1st and shut it down lol
That's my plan atleast.
blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum
Soooo....did you replace the shoes?
I had the same problem with the park brake on my C3. I took the adjusters out and blasted them with brake cleaner and then lubed them good with synthetic grease. Works fine now and I was able to put adjustment back in the cable.
Well crap I messed with it so much I broke the clip off that holds the shoe on so I bought a new one at napa and put it all back together the problem still exists I talked to several people and the dealership they all said it was normal, not sure!
