Really ain't no fixing a brake cable. Replace it with a new cable.
How do you adjust the emergency brake on your 2001 S10 Chevy?
95 chev S10 emergency brake cable does not reach to attach front cable to rear cable. I have adjusted nut as far as it will go and am still 2' short to join the front and rear cables.
Need to know if the vehicle has rear disc brakes or drum brakes and which part of the e-brake system you want to remove, front cable, rear cables, e-brake linings, etc.
There should be a lever down by the brake pedal. it will look kind of like a gear with a tab on it. that lever releases the parking brake. just be careful not to let the parking brake pedal smack you in the face....
The brake indicator light is for the EMERGENCY break, release this break.
It depends which cable is broken. If the main cable is broken under the truck, the brakes should release on their own. If the brakes dont release, the cables are frozen from rust and need to be replaced. If the release cable from the handle to pedal assemdly is broken reach under the dash above the pedal and find the small release arm. Pull the arm toward you [ the rear of vehicle ] and the emergency brake pedal will release.
You need to adjust the cable on the brake.
a tear down book should show you
Posi-trac or broken spring in the brake. A frozen e-brake cable is another possibility.
The cable runs from the pedal thru the fire wall under the drivers side of the truck to a spliter around the same place as the muffler tail pipe connection on the drivers side.Then it goes to each wheel in the backing plate.
You may need to back off on the e-brake cable adjustment.
Need to know if this is a 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive S10.
