my crx has a rear disk conversion out of an acura... and e-brake doesnt work my mechanic said that there is a bracket missing in the rear brak does anyone know the part number or where i can buy it???

 

Dunno, can you be anymore vague? Post a pic, or tell us where it is supposed to go. You'll probably have to get it at a junkyard.

 

DId you check the FAQ the fourthgenhatch link has many pictures of the rear disc brake conversion you can check that out.

 

umm is the e brake cable even hooked up?? more info! and do you work on your own car at all?

 

Get another car if you dont plan on working on the CRX yourself. You will spend a fortune on having "mechanics" fix it all the time. As for the part you need, find a picture and circle the part missing and someone might be able to help you.

 

i work on the car... i did the swap myself.. but i bought the shell with the disk convertion and it s hokked up but when i pull it just just doesnt brake

 

have you checked condition of the brake pads? rotors? calipers? and this is brakes were talkin about. if your capable of doing a swap im sure repairing your e brake shouldnt be hard.

 

There is also an adjustment right behind the e-brake handle. It had a nut which you can adjust to increase the cable tension.

 

thanx ill take a look at it

 

first off, you need to get up, get under your car, and check that the cables are still there. then check that theyre even attatched to the rear disc assembly. THEN you need to get a flashlight and look up under the car at where the cables enter the cabin. if they're there but LOOSE, then you need to adjust them. if there isnt a bracket holding the outer sleeve of the cable stationary as they enter the passenger compartment, then your brakes arent going to work. you need to go to the junkyard and pull the bracket and install it in the reverse order that you took it off.

like the man said, if someone else did the swap, then assume that it was done wrong and fix it. OR, go to the honda parts department at your local honda dealership, describe to them the part, order it, and have a LICENSED technician install it.

the easiest and cheapest way to do it is to do it yourself with your own tools at a junkyard, that way you'll have spent the time under the car and have memorized the motions it takes to take it off and you'll know exactly what youre doing under the car when you put it on. then once its on, adjust the rear brakes with a 10mm wrench and check them on your driveway.

biggest piece of advice, buy a chiltons or a helms manual.

 

werrrrd

 

i did the same conversion on my crx. the stock e-brake cable doesnt work for the rear disc conversion. So make sure the person who had the car before you swapped out the stock ones. you either need to go to the junkyard and pull the e-brake cables off of a si crx if you can find one there (which i doubt) or pull one off of a DA or DC integra. When you pull your e-brake up does it feel like theres tension in it or is it pretty much free-play?

 

Why does it have to be a "licensed technician" and what kind of license should he have?

 

VTEC license

reminder to use EF toe arms with the swap unless you want horrible toe in, I went through hell with that

 

thank u ..... thats exactly what am missing the bracket in the rear disk brake... when u pull the e brake the cable moves but nothing holds it in the back ..... if anyone knows the part number ill apreciate..... my car runs after almost a year of work..... lack of time mostly pretty happy with the results ill post pixs soon

 

way to go on getting her running. im going through hell trying to get mine on the road, and its been about 18 months for me. ive got an attention span shorter than verne troyer x_X

 

Yes there is a bracket that bolts to the rear caliper with 2 12mm bolts and has a hole in it and you feed the cables threw it and there is a metal collar on the cable that a big c clip holds it in place in the bracket.....

i just dont know if you can use the crx bracket or the integra bracket cuz i dont know what cables your using.....

Just go to the dealer they always help!!!!!i get my acura parts at Honda soooooo
