After goofing off for months im finally starting to get things done on my 91 STD hatch. After getting the coil overs set in right and got it running and driving, at least as well a 311K mile DPFI engine can run, the biggest issue i have right now is both hand brake cables are cut, and the worst part is inside both rear drums the arms that the cables connect to aren't even there. Its just the bare shoes springs and self adjuster. Im not too good with rebuilding drum brakes so i dont know how i would even go about getting the parts i need to get my hand brake back, or IF those parts even exist anymore

 

Drum brakes can seem daunting, get a hold of a service manual for the car and study it if you haven't done them before. Once you do one side it won't seem as hard, but they can be tricky.

Here's the parts diagram to be concerned with: https://www.hondapartsnow.com/parts-...ear_brake.html

There are aftermarket brake cables, brake drum hardware kits, etc. The arm itself that the cable attaches to may be trickier to find, but I did see a few on ebay for sale. If not, ask around here or on the EF/ED facebook groups and someone there will probably have them.

 

Yeah i think im going to grab a service book, can get a used one for like $10. i THINK im only missing the "lever, parking brake" and "Pin, parking break lever" a washer and a U clip. This MAY not be as hard as i thought.
