I'm new here

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

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.

Thank you for this because my ebrake doesn't work either lol

I was only able to rebuild mine and make my video b/c of the documentation kev did.  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.

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.

Now I just need to find e-brake cables.
