ebrake issues

[s13silvia123]

my ebrake is alrite but when i try ta drift with using my ebrake it doesnt work no more. what can i do to adjust it for fix the problem. and how can i adjust the ebrake so i can pull the ebrake half way. my ebrake only works when i'm parking only.

well as far as adjustment goes, there's a nut under the handle (seen through hole in ebrake boot). Tighten it to tighten cable and vice versa. Be sure not to set it so tight that the brakes drag though. Another thing you might want to check is the driving style. If your ONLY using the ebrake and/or some steering to initiate, try slapping the brake pedal right before you initiate with the ebrake. It assists with locking, but also transfers some of the weight forward which helps in getting them locked. If you get your timing right it shouldn't be a problem.


But lastly, I have to say it out loud. If your initiating with ebrake, you are the lameness. It's a shitty way to initiate, even on steep downhills.

i do both but i i mean using brakes and the ebrake. but the ebrake is getting sort of loose. when i pulll it it goes up too high.

try hydraulic ebrake???

[s13silvia123]

no as time goes by hydraulic gets bad. thurs going be leaks. i've worked on forklifts at work and damn they get bad pretty fast. hydralics lines are easy ta replace by when the hydraulic pumps fails thats a pain in the ass to replace them.
