ihateallmustangs Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Ok i pulled one side off to put new pads. My e-brake has been siezed for a long time. I havent done rear brakes on one of these cars so yea.. Anyway i put a clamp on it just like I would the front and it wont go back. The pads arent that old. I didnt want to mess it up so i put it back togtether with the old pads. any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 autozone rents such tool, and canadian tire probably does too... personally I would do the 94+brake upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihateallmustangs Posted July 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Ok i tried that they are mashed.. I ende dup moving it like not even half an inch.. so I did a MAJOR HILLYBILLY MOVE.I sanded my new brake pads down a bit on the belt sander and put them in lol.... prolly should be in that thread thats kicking around. BTW my car turned 292,000k today so a replacement will be in the works for spring. which it will be over 300,000k by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Are you sure your piston isnt locked up and you just need a whole new caliper?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend an upgrade to 94+ brake myself. read: http://www.tpsgarage.com/TGP/brakes/rear_brake_upgrade.htm replacement schlacement. I drove my lumina to 222k (thats about 360,000 km) before dismantiling it, and i am REUSING the engine and tranny in another car... wihout rebuilding either. as long as you fix the small things and maintain your car, it has the potential to surpass 400k km.

I think my car could easily goto 400k with no major issues. I will still keep it for a spare car cause I will prolly start driving my trans am in the spring.
