K, spent all yesterday trying to install my rear disk brakes on my st.
Having problems: 1.emergency brakes will not work unless i pull additional wiring up through the e brake handle and use vise grips to keep the line in place, there seems to be tons of slack, and yes I've used the parking brake adjuster inside the parking brake shoe. 2. Caliper brake line from the junkyard has rubber hose cut off and thus no terminating screw or nut connection to connect to st brake lines, Question: can you by the GT caliper line and mate it to st brake line system?. Also I was thinking of using a hose connector to mate the caliper cut rubber line to the st brake system. Though I do not know if the simple brass connector will handle the force running through the lines without breaking. |
