Default Re: Parking brake, rear pads, and hardware

Between Rock Auto and FPC, I have parts. Except...one very important part: the pin holding the cable to the activation lever. I bought a 1/4 inch brass rod, which is slightly bigger than. the 5.68mm I measured inside the hole. Using my drill press, I put together a honing jig.

Using various grits of sandpaper I got the diameter to fit perfectly with a slight taper.


Pin and lever

It fits!

Of course when I went to remove the disc on the passenger side, somebody screwed up the retaining screw.

This is not coming out with regular star tools.

Fortunately I have a effing clue on how to fix this.

Screw extraction tool to the rescue
