Why is emergency brake not working?
The emergency brake on my truck is not working.
When I push the plunger down and pull the handle back, the teeth are not catching. Are there any parts that seem to be on wrong? Thank you. Neil |

Re: Why is emergency brake not working?
When you ease the car down the driveway (5mph or so) and push in on the clutch does the e-brake stop the car?

If the handle parts work OK on your car, the problem lies in the rear, could be worn or grease polluted lining, rods out of adjustment, etc... |

I believe that the sector with the teeth on it is installed backwards.
