E brake not working
Hi i have a 85 z-28 and my e brake doesnt work! I can see that the cable is hooked up and there is pressure on it when i pull but it doesnt do anything. Have any ideas what might be wrong?

My car has the same problem. You can pull it all the way up and it does next to nothing. I haven't been able to figure out what is wrong with it.

Do U have drums or disk? My car has drums & I had the same problem. My linings were'nt even touching the drums. The automatic adjusting feature sometimes go bad. I had to manually adjust the rear linings until I got a slight drag on the drums. Once U get the slight drag throw the wheels & tires back on & give the E brakes a pull. Should be fine now! Just my $.02

Search the archives for disc recall. Here's one message: https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...threadid=78725 The e-brake actually worked after I did this work.
