Hey guys,
I got into this whole rebuilding the E brake at the wrong time. It started with replacing all of the regular brake components (rotors, pads, and paint the calipers)
Then realized when I replaced the rear rotors why my e brake wasn't working. It was because those e brake shoes were almost disintegrated.
First step - buy new e brake shoes, hold down bolts, and springs. Replaced them all and then realized the bottom actuator does not work as well as the E brake lines being partially seized. I have new actuators on the way and new brake lines.
Here lies my problem. I cannot get the old brake lines off for the life of me. I already cut the line end that connects to the actuator and also removed the nut by the actual e brake handle. The outer layer will not come out of the hub. Is there a trick to this or is it just rusted in there. Also the line in between the e brake handle and the outside of the car seems too small for the line and threading to get through. I'm guessing the outer layer came apart in there.
Any help would be appreciated as I will be trying to finish it once the actuators come in Wednesday.
Thanks R3v
