Steve007 Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum. I am the original owner of a 1987 Chrysler Conquest TSI. Love these cars. I have a question: My mechanic said my handbrake is not working because the mechanism on the rear calipers is frozen and can't be repaired. Since parts are getting harder to find, I was wondering where others are getting parts. Rock Auto is out of stock. Thanks, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contsi Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 Is it your calipers? You may be able to rebuild them. It may take some looking around the internet. Look at starquest parts.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tux Posted August 8, 2023 Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) Mechanics want to replace parts, not rebuild. I don't blame them, but you got no real options other than rebuild yourself Edited August 8, 2023 by tux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techboy Posted August 8, 2023 Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 Just a few months ago I created a YouTube video on how to rebuild your rear brakes and the e-brake mechanism. I posted a link to the video on the club, but I forget where I posted it. Either the BS section or the VR. I'll see if I can find the link for you. Also you can still buy brake rebuild kits at Rock Auto. They only cost a few bucks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't checked this thread out yet, you need to give this a read through as well. Between this and the video, anyone should be good to go. https://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/137131-rear-brake-caliper-assembly/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve007 Posted July 1, 2024 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2024 If anyone needs to have calipers rebuilt, I did find a good place who has done these cars. They are in California (562) 528-8200 The owner, Graem Elliott, was very helpful, and they did a great job. www.Caliperhq.com Now I just need to find e-brake cables.
