2013 Tri POOR BRAKES

[Oldmsocko]

Thanks for the feed back it work like a charm, I think I will leave the e-brake disconnected as it is a pain.

As a suggestion I would totally remove it from the TG not just disconnect it.

The best place for the E-brake is hanging on the garage wall

when removing the e-brake do I leave the adj. arm in place or remove that also, then what about the adj. rod will that stay in place or work its way in and put pressure on the pads.

I am doing the same thing as pondball, so I am also looking for an answer to this question.

WHY?? Keep it adjusted and it will work well. If your trunk pops open you don't take the door off. Be sure and keep it, could effect your resale.

 

[Oldmsocko]

Its pretty simple. Your trunk door has a value to it where as the parking brake does not. You are correct about the resale value possibly being effected. That is why I kept it so when and if i get rid of the TG I will re-install it.

Only twice in the years I have owned it did I feel it would have been handy to have and at that time I wrapped a velcro strap around my front brake handle.

+1 and the velcro strap does not need adjusting!:Coffee:

Leave the arm and spring on the caliper, the rod won't move.

so I ordered the lyndall pads last Tuesday that everyone recommended and paid extra for 3 day shipping, got a conformation e-mail and 8 days later still no break pads. I e-mailed them ,called and left messages and then called again today only to find out that they back ordered them and they won't be in for a week. asking just when I was going to be notified of the back order they couldn't give me a answer, so needless to say I cancelled the order and am not real happy with Lyndall. just venting

 

[Oldmsocko]

Can't say that I blame you for being disappointed. That is unusual for them. I think I would e-mail them and lodge a complaint. They usually have great customer service.

FYI,
Paul is dealing with some family problems with his Mom, so perhaps give him a break on this one. I've been waiting for a call back for a week. He'll get back with me when he can.
