Changed fuel pump, now passenger parking brake binds


Recommended Posts

Changed the fuel pump, now the passenger side parking brake is permanently bound on.

 

Presumably the tank is causing this.

 

Anyone else had this problem when changing the fuel pump? I'm going to loosen the straps up again and take a pry bar and try to pry the tank forward a bit.

I don't recall the park brake cables being all that close to the tank. I wasn't especially careful about the cables when I dropped the tank in my '92 Lumina.

 

Maybe you've got the dreaded 1st Gen caliper-sticking problem I keep hearing about (but have never experienced.)

 

How often do you actually USE the park brake?

Okay, I'm dumb (again). Turns out when I was working on the tank filler tubes through the wheel well, I moved the e-brake cable aside and it got caught on the frame in a weird way instead of hanging relatively loose around the strut. Fixed that, and all back to normal!

 

Thanks for putting up with my stupidity.
