you buy new emergency brake cables and put them on. you buy new emergency brake cables and put them on.
The light on the dash that says the emergency brake light is on could have burned out if it does not light up when the emergency brake is actually on. In some vehicles, this light will not light up until the car is put into gear to warn the driver that the emergency brake is still on.
PUT EMERGENCY BRAKE ON
To replace a rear wheel cylinder in a Chevy Celebrity: 1. Put chocks in place so the car can't move. 2. Loosen the lug nuts. 3. Jack the car up a suitable distance and place on jack stands. 4. Finish taking the lug nuts off and remove the tire. 5. Pull the brake drum off. If the emergency brake is on you will need to release it to take the brake drum off. 6. On the back side of the drum remove the brake line with a flare nut wrench. 7. Remove the cylinder retaining ring. I usually pry it off with a pair of screwdrivers. 8. Remove the return springs. 9. Remove the hold down spring retainer then the spring from both shoes. Make careful note of the emergency brake strut and spring so you will know how they go back. 10. If you are only replacing the cylinder and not the brake shoes, then carefully move the shoes aside, but not enough that they fall out. The cylinder can now be maneuvered out. Watch how it works, it goes back about the same way. 11. Put the new cylinder in place then put the retainer ring back on the back. 12. Connect the brake line. 13. Put the shoes back in place making sure the parking brake strut and spring go in place correctly. 14. Put the hold down springs and their retainers back in place. 15, Put the return springs back on. If you took the actuator link off of the parking brake lever put it back in place. 16. At this point verify everything you took off is back in its proper place. 17. If everything is properly back in place put the brake drum on and bleed the brake. Unless the brake pedal feels spongy when you are done bleeding the one cylinder you probably will not need to bleed the entire system 18. When you are satisfied with the that the brake is properly bled put the tire back on and snug the lug nuts. 19. Lower the car and finish tightening the lug nuts. 20. Remove the chocks.
Step on the brake and put the car in drive the brake will release
back brake springs weak or broken! or a brake part is broken.
put your car in reverse and pull the hand brake. done
a simple test you could do would be, put your vehicle on drive then apply the emergency brake and let go the brake pedal. if the emergency brake is good your car shouldn't move at all.ifbrake shoes. it moves it may be your e-brake or worn
First make sure your car is parked with the emergency brake on. Then remove the tire, check out the calipers and brake pads, clean or remove them, grease them to replace them, and then put the tire back on.
you definitely has to put the emergency break on ill tell you what happens when you put it in park,.....you will go to the front and have a car crash.
You do not need to disengage the emergency brake to remove the rotors. Go to the local Auto store and get yourself an emergency brake spring remover. You will use this to take the spring off and use it to put it back on afterwards. I've used pliers before but its a real pain. The tool will make it 10 times easier. I think this is what you meant.
