yes there is in fact something you are missing.. otherwise it would work. anything else? just kidding... take apart the handle assembly (rubber cover, and carpeted piece). there are two brake lines connected to it on a 'y' rocker... of sorts. the wires end in a ball that is held in two slots on the rocker-thing if one is disconnected the other won't get the leverage it needs to hold the brakes properly. ___ yay --|___yay ___ boo --\ ___boo ^ break nice diagram, huh?... hope is works in your font :) i just had to bend the bracker back, because it was mangled, and then use some vice grips to pull both balls back through their slots. my brake now works like a charm... well the parking break does.. .the pedal brakes need some work still....so do alot of other things.... heheh help any?? james lalonde 001697 _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
