Title: Loss of Brakes
Post by: ADavis on June 27, 2005, 09:52:38 AM
Hey all, I was driving the other day (on a mountain road too) and forgot about my e-brake (does that tell you how well my e-brake works).  Anyway, I was coming into a turn and realized I didn't have any brakes.  I pumped it twice and they came back.  It was like this for about 5 minutes and then they worked fine again.  I know the heat from the e-brake can warp stuff but would it cause your peddle to go to the floor.  I didn't have any wheel cyclindar, master cyclindar, or vacum leaks.  My break fluid level was at max.  Any idea?  Thanks

Your rear brakes NEED to be adjusted bad.  

I just did this to my 97.  They are suposed to be self adjusting.  I used a small screwdriver and adjusted them.  My e-brake works great and my peddle is much higher now.

Yup, and if you change the rear shoes
you can lube and fix the adjusters so
they work better, I fixed mine 7 years
ago, and the brakes still stop good
