E-Brake Stuck

[fastbird232]

When I bought my SE out of that farmer's field, I noticed the car won't brake for shit and the "BRAKE" light is always on. Oh, and the parking brake lever won't budge an inch. Short of taking it to a mechanic, how do I unstick it?

I'll bet the rear calipers are siezed....as is the parking brake cable that runs from the driver's side to the passenger side.

check the rear calipers to see if they locked up then if thats not it, check the linkage where the e-brake is

How do I go about unsticking them all?

[19Cutlass94]

if the rear calipers are locked up, you would have to buy new ones or reman. ones. The e-brake linkage, Im assuming that its a floor e-brake and you would just have to take the linkage off/apart and see whats causing it to bind up, if thats whats causing it

See if the e-brake in stuck onto the "on" position on the caliper itself and get a hammer and pound it back down to "off". Then replace to 94+

94+ rear discs=direct drop in?

the rear brakes won't seize up if they get used every once in a while :?

94+ you need the calipers, caliper mounts, and rotors, and all mounting hardware.

 

EVERYTHING bolts in, and it stops 10x better.
