Different length to parking brake levers

Monaro said

I thought that it might be handy to have a parking brake so I went to local Valiant dealer and picked up a set (suite 69 8 3/4 slippery diff) went to install brakes but found that with lever in place cannot get top of shoes to come together, remove lever no problems.


Cheers,

Look under the car and see if you have an adjuster in the cable, under front passenger seat, maybe. If you do loosen that adjustment, that should slack the cable enough so you can get the shoes in.

I removed a 7 1/4 rear and replaced with an 8 3/4 rear with larger brakes and I experienced the very same issue.

Hope this helps!
