No Brakes?
Just put in some new brake lines and now I have no brakes? Found that out riding down the 30 degree slope from the driveway into the street.
Anyhow, these obviously aren't complicated. I routed them exactly as they were before. The only difference in the new cables is that I bought two passenger length cables as the driver side was not long enough after the 5" lift. When I press the pedal, both cables are actuating the assembly at the rear tires. Are their any videos or stickies that I can go through step by step to ensure that I didn't miss anything? One observation is that the bracket where the two lines feed into is a little cockeyed and won't straighten out, but doesn't seem to be affecting the action of the cables. I suppose I could tighten up the cables a little more, but I don't have a lot of room left. |

Re: No Brakes?
Thanks. So would that be a clockwise turn on the adjuster screw to get the star wheel to engage? Do I need to pull the cotter pin and pin and disengage the brake cable first?
The manual states that the equalizer bracket needs to be no more than 1/8" off center. Mine is more than that. Will the star wheel adjustment correct for that as well? Thanks for the manual Ping Eye! |

Re: No Brakes?
I would pull the whole hub off and clean everything and inspect shoes
