I was checking why my brake pedal was sinking to the floor last week, so i checked my rear drums to see if there was any leaks etc, at the same time I took out my ebrake cable because my old one was seized and had the brakes stuck in the locked position....

so i removed the ebrake cable completely and put the drum back together, but now the pedal feels like its even worse than before, it barely grabs at all.

Im pretty sure my master cylinder was pooched because my brake pedal went to the floor coming home, and had to be pumped to build pressure... but after touching the rear drum its even worse, now im hoping my master is just really pooched, but could playing with my rear ebrake cable and not having it hooked up on one side mess it up anyhow?

 

No, the ebrake is a secondary emergencey brake system, and the pedal isn't affected.

 

Are your drums adjusted correctly?
If they are not adjusted correctly it will take more pedal travel for the shoes to make contact.

 

replace m/c.

 

did you bleed them correctly?
