brakes, rear...how to adjust emergency brakes?
« on: January 08, 2007, 04:55:05 AM »
Hey all,

Where's the best source to get brake parts?  I just took apart my rear brakes and found that the passenger side was locked up.  The adjuster was so tight that I couldn't get the drum off w/o beating it off and destroying the hardware.  The shoew were ground into the drum.

Needless to say, I need all new parts.  The driver's side looks normal.  Why would this happen in such an uneven way?  The emergency brake handle was hard as a rock, I could barely move it.

I called Pep Boys, Auto Zone, and NAPA.  They all have to special order parts (5-7 B-days) and prices varied between 24.60 -149.95 for ONE drum...doesn't seem right.

Any suggestions?

Hawk's Strictly Suzuki 888 SAMURAI for the emergency brake cable assembly used and possibly OEM NOS, too.

Tell them Ack sends you  ;)

Alternatively:

Your local Pick-N-Pull may have drums.  It depends on whether you have a Samurai or a TracKick.  Don't get a cable assembly there. You'll probably end up destroying it in the process of removing it.
