1993 Saturn SL2 Repair Question
Mileage: 130,000 miles.
What are the arms that the emergency brake cable attaches to called? they are not included when you buy the brake caliper or caliper mounts.
Answer
Wow you started a new question lol.I dont know the name of the arm from what i remember the arm came with the factory calipers when i replaced them.You are talking about the arm that turns the caliper out for the parking brake correct?Your talking about the arm that holds the cable to the caliper?
yes that is what im referring to. i havnt needed to post for a while because the car is running great. still only 133 thousand on it just replaced the battery, serpentine belt and alternator. but my ebrake doesnt work at all right now. one cable underneath is snapped and the other cable is attached to a ebrake arm that is ceased.
would you reccomend just geting a cable for the one side so i have at least something? but if you do i would still like to have it grab both tires..
well i looked a little closer on rock auto and i found calipers that have the arm attached to them. only problem is that would mean getting a new caliper all together and a cable for the one side but at least its not both calipers and both cables. so then if i answered my own question i will answer this now... how do you go about replacing the cable? does it just pull out?
You pretty much answered your own question i saw the caliper with the bracket on it.The ebrake cable exits the car to the outside thru a groument under the back seat.
