E-Brake Wont Adjust!! Need to pass SAFETY. 90 Dx Rear Discs
So I bought a 90 Civic Dx hatch for a winter beater. It has rear disc brakes swapped in the back. Previous owner has no idea what car they came from (neither do I)
Whne I bought it the ebrake didnt work, you could pull the handle but there was no tension. I was hoping it was simply an adjustment issue but I guess not. I popped off the cover and started tightening the nut (clockwise) until it got to the end and the spring would allow for no more adjustment (spring was completely scrunched) Now I could pull the ebrake and there was a lot of resistance, like you actually had to PULL the handle now. But I pulled it out of gear and the car still rolled. What do I do? This is one of the last things I need to do in order to pass safety |

Check to make sure the cables are even hooked up, and make sure they're the right cables. Take a look at some cables off of an Integra with rear discs or a CRX with rear discs from the factory.

Re: E-Brake Wont Adjust!! Need to pass SAFETY. 90 Dx Rear Discs
the cables should be adjusted at the caliper before you start ------- around under the console. thats your problem.

Re: E-Brake Wont Adjust!! Need to pass SAFETY. 90 Dx Rear Discs
Well obviously the cables are coonected right? being as the tension on the ebrake handle changed when I played with the screw
Ive never even seen rear disc brakes before so can you explain to me how to adjust them and what Im looking at and where I would find what I have to do? |

Re: E-Brake Wont Adjust!! Need to pass SAFETY. 90 Dx Rear Discs
Well does the ebrake cable just come from the cabin and split off to both side of the rear of the car?
Please explain |

Checked the ebrake today, never seen a ebrake setup on a disc rear. I can see where it coils around, and when you pull up the e-brake the "boot" slightly moves in the back, not much. There are 2 nut looking type fittings on the end of the boot, I thought those would adjust it but aparently there just part of the boot and arent even attached to the dam thing. So how do I tighten this ----?
