Ebrake wont disengage, help please!

i have no idea, just from wiggling the t-40 in there it felt like it MIGHT be a hex bolt but its hard to tell, ill check before i buy a t-50. According to a website it is a t-50 bit btw.

Stuck one is just...  stuck...  There's nothing holding them on when your wheel is off.

No, there's no core charge.  They're just big paper weights now.

Lordco with our club discount:

Raybestos Front at $124.00 for a pair or AIMCO at $111.00

Rear at $34 & $76 for the pair...not sure what the difference is?

Well the front are more important, replace what is worst I guess.  Does anyone have any rotors that could be turned and help this guy out?...I donated my old ones, anyone have any getting rusty in their backyards?:)

holy friggen crap... why the heck is it so bloody hard to find rear brake pads!   I went to 4 different places, including the GM dealership in the automall and NOONE had them in stock.  Lordco was the worst IMO, the first set i bought didnt' match, so i brought them back and they brought me a completely different set, both apparently ment for fieros. Now.. what confused me is that the caliper i bought from them was correct, so why would they sell pads that dont fit the calipers they sell.  I ended up finding some at napa but they had to order them in.  eesh...

im in abbotsford, im really really considering some kind of brake upgrade once these pads start to go.  I figure it'd be easier to track down pads if i had like a grand am upgrade, or the vette 12" if i could afford it.   Dont know why fiero parts are so dang hard to find lol :P There not like some crazy "exotic" car for pete's sake...


edit:  Oh ya, i forgot to mention the fun i had yesterday. I took my old calipers in for the core deposit, when i was told that one of the ebrake brackets was supposed to stay with me, so i took them back home and attempted to get them off.  Man alive where those 2 bolts ever hard to get off. Here is the order in which i tried to get them out:  First just the ratchet, no luck. Then i tried some penetrating oil, nothing. Next i got mad and took out the torch, nada. After trying that for awhile the bolt stripped!, so out comes the drill... got almost all the way through but could see i was going nowhere frast, so i finally resorted to my dremel, which actually worked really well lol. Got the tops almost cut off in about 3minutes, followed by a BFH and a flathead screwdriver... stupid things lol :P

Grab the area of the adjuster cable that's NOT threaded with some vice grips, then undo the nut (don't remove it) until things fit.

Now crank the ebrake on/off about 20 times.

Adjust the cable up until with a moderate pull you get about 4 clicks on the handle.

k, when im attaching that bolt with the hole in it for the brake fluid to go through, how do i know if its lined up?

well crap... here i am trying to bleed the brakes for friggen ever, turns out that the bleeder valve wasn't even drilled out, you look down inside and theres no hole for the fluid to come out haha.. gotta wait till 4:00 now till another one comes in from burnaby :(


edit arrrg.. bunch of friggen idiots at lordco, just got the new caliper and its WRONG AGAIN... 3 times they've given me wrong/defective calipers! Now there closed and i doubt they are open tomorrow, so much for a nighttime cruise tonight.  Just gets better and better i tells ya.
