Hey guys. My ebrake died out on my 92 hatch VX. Its a drum break. I dont know what the problem could be. You guys have any idea on what I should take a look at first?

 

take off your break drum and stick a screw driver in there and tighten it, its prolly just loose

 

Look into replacing your drum shoes.

 

 

I think there is a adjustment screw inside the console also....i have a 95 dx and adjusted mine there. Mine did that same thing and i was able to fix it. But i dont know if that was the proper fix.

 

i have the same problem on my 95 coupe....my ebrake doesnt work at all right now, because the cables are stretched out and need to be replaced.....

i tried everything, replacing the drum shoes, and tightning the adjustment screw, but none of it works.....im going to go to the junk yard and get one from there and swap it out.....hopefully thats not whats wrong with yours.....

 

perfect time for a rear disc convo.

 

yeah good time for a rear disc swap, you might want to try adjusting the nut underneath the center console. but if you try adjusting the star nut inside the drum and it only works for a few days, it probably means that your e-brake lines are stretched out. check them, they'll be longer than the new ones from the dealer. thats what happened to me and i just picked up some gs-r/ls rear trailing arms and solved the problem.

 

you could always just tighten the cable
