Dude

Your e-brake isn't broken
It just isn't adjusted

Thee e-brake console has the screws you need to tension the e-brake lines under the boot. 12mm nuts. Probably the first thing I do when I first by an e30 is adjust the e-brake. They are always screwed up

It should be adjusted so that the first 3-5 clicks, there is no or minimal pressure on the rear e-brakes. Too much; loosen: too little; tighten. There are two sides to adjust so you can independently adjust both sides of the brake

EDIT: it's easier to do it on a hill; that way you can quickly engage it on and off and check which side is grabbing more/less and adjust until they are perfectly balanced

And ticking from the rear is usually bad brake pad tension springs

Why on this Earth would you do the REAR brakes first. The FRONT does most of the work and is easier because there is no ebrake to deal with, or screw up in your case.

Spency just start paying people to work on your car. Just stop... *sigh*

[Thizzelle]

yeah sounds like you just need to adjust your shit. there is also a thing to adjust through the rotor.

they call me Eric Bustyourballs Berger

the rears can be very tricky to figure out the first time.

[mbonanni]

Never adjusted an ebrake, but brakes are easy to replace. Spency is just blinded by all that cash he is making.

lol. No. My first time ever doing brakes was on an e30 by myself and I replaced the ebrake pads and springs. It's not hard.

On another note, I fucked up my camera. Was taking pictures at the lake district and it got damp in my backpack and bleh. Looking for a mark II now prolly.

It's actually a 10.


I've already been doing that to try and help, not much luck.



We did the rears first because we had the rear end off the ground to do my pumpkin and we had the rear wheels off the vehicle.

Lol the entire time I had no idea the e-brake was drum brake style inside the hub.

I'll get her all straightened out.

just send it back to canon to get fixed. the mark II is really old now and not worth the money.
