Re: diagnosing broken e-brake ?



The way to figure out what is wrong is to first do a visual 
inspection. Jack up the car, remove the rear wheels and see what is 
missing, broken, rusted, etc. Refer to 6-2-1 in workshop manual for 
locations, routing, and correct parts. It is not a good idea to drive 
much without a working e-brake especially in a 5-speed! The most 
common things that go wrong are 
1 out of adjustment
2 rusted, broken cable
3 worn out brake pads
If you just put your eyeballs on it the trouble will quickly be 
obvious.
