Ray92es Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 My left side emergency brake cable has frozen for the second time. The Dealer replaced it a few years ago and broke off some mounts and used tyraps tied to the fuel lines to support it. Anyways, in the process of replacing fuel lines, I saw the cable stuck and the brake shoes worn. No one has the part in stock. Has anyone ever had suscess in freeing up the cable and it lasting? Does anyone have any spare brake shoes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In trying to reinstall, I had to chisel off the mount nut by the axle stabilizer bar. New bolt and nut and next to the mount that goes next to the tank strap. Nothing left but half a bolt. Made a new clamp out of plumbers strapping. Will try tomorrow if the weather holds up. Next is draining the gas tank. Anybody done this?
