Hey guys, ever since i took ownership of my DeLorean, the parking brake has never worked. the previous owner said that it was always catching on one of the wheels and since he only drove his a few times (it was not a daily driver) he just disconnected the lines at the handle. well i want a parking brake! it's really crappy driving a manual transmission without a parking brake. so today i decided to have a look. i connected the cables again at the release handle (which was a 2 hour job by itself), and i removed both rear wheels. yes, the cable is not disengaging on the passenger side. what is actually happening is that it is catching and hanging up somewhere back there. i lifted the handle again and the passenger side cable fell out of the mechanism. dang it!!!! but that just goes to show that the passenger side cable or caliper is hanging up. the driver's side seems to work just fine. if you push the parking brake caliper apart, as in, push the inside half towards the car, you can feel it grinding. i lubed up the hinge really good and moved it around a bit, but i think the grinding is coming from the cable itself or one of the pieces it passes through. finally, should the rear wheels be very hard to turn? i don't have the tires on, but there is noticeable resistance when i turn the discs. should they be totally free moving, or should it be somewhat tough to turn? the car is in neutral. thanks to all the brake gurus out there andy Soma576@xxxx 1982 DeLorean DMC-12 VIN#11596 Fargo, ND 58102 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
