I just isntalled 91 Si disc brakes on my 89 CRX using 91 CRX e-brake cables. I can't get the cable equalizer to equally tension the two cables. One side will engage the brake before the other and the equalizer is heavily favoring one side.

Are there other adjustments I can make?

got the same problem...

are you sure their not grabbing equally did you jack up the rear and get a buddy to pull up the ebrake while you spun the tires or did you just look at the ebrake adjustment bracket and see its not even

The entire car was on jack stands, so I was able to pull the lever and tested each wheel. One stops at half pull, the other at all the way.

My EF did the same thing. Also my new 92 accord lx I did a rear disc brake swap and its the same. But I don't really care, Just leave it in gear if your on a huge hill.

I seem to have the same problem with my parking brake cable on my 88 Prelude, but my parking brake doesn't work at all on it. I need a new cable set. It would be nice to have a parking brake, again.

I have the same problem on my 90' Hatch when I did my DA rear disc swap. My driver side has more clamp than the passenger side

did you know you can adjust the ebrake tension from the brake rotor by pulling the cable out more?

boostedmonkey

What do you mean?

i could be wrong, but it can be adjust just as similar to a bike brake, pull the ebrake cable out and make tension. i just looked at my rear disk brakes and didnt see an actual cable to pull on but i think you can spin a nut and pull the cable out more. ill look into it.


it can also be your pads. they wear out just as fronts do.


here are some opinions from others
rear drums:
"Anyway, yea, there are a few things that can go wrong with your e-brake cable; the plastic tubing that keeps dirt and moisture and whatnot away from the cable can crack, and then crud can get in there (especially in winter!) and restrict the cable's movement so it doesn't return to the "off" position, you could have stretched the cable, and/or the little springs that keep the tension on the cable at the brakes. Take the rear wheels off and look at the springs on the back of the drums, and at the levers and swivel points that the cable runs along. Look at the cable with the e-brake on, and then with it off, and see if you notice anything obvious."
