cj5 rear brake (drum) parking/emergency brake lever
Hello,
I am working on my brakes and on the rear passenger side something is just not right. I wonder if the previous owner (or so) used a driver side parking/emergency brake lever instead of the passenger side one. Does anyone have a pic of what the passenger side assembled rear drum brake on a '79 CJ5 looks like? thanks, Ron |

cj5 rear brake (drum) parking/emergency brake lever
Hi Bill,
well I must have something screwed up really well when I replaced the axle shafts. (else I would never take them both off at the same time). Actually, the wheel will only turn backwards with force and forward not at all. (They should put those brakes on a prius) I am also wondering if I ever had the correct emergency brake lever in there. With the adjusting star you mean the star of the adjusting screw, right?

oh btw; what confuses me in that drum brake is that the 'prongs' on
the emergency brake lever seem to be pointing forward. I'd expect them to be pointing backwards so the prongs keep the cable from sliding off. Ron |

Then perhaps: 1) You missed something 2) Google Groups was incorrect or most likely 3) When posting to this particular group, I often activate the 'No-Archive' feature newsposters have. On any case, /having/ knowledge does not directly imply the sharing of it, especially in a group in which virtually everyone except Bill Hughes has Jheap-specific knowledge which far outstrips mine. But I have indeed offered some Jheap-related info; it's doubtful if anyone except Bill ever read it, but that's just fine by me. I don't play with Jheaps, never have and never will. My forté is -- to paraphrase Bill himself -- 'real cars', average daily-drivers, off-the showroom-floor stocks, Hot Rods, street machines, Classics,, foreign, imports, US domestics, i.e, the entire spectrum -- and has been since early childhood. Recreational vehicles, Winnebagos, Jheaps, dirt-bikes have little interest other than the fact that they share a little in common with real cars. And not to be rude, but I think your knowledge of the 'Google Groups' function, functionality, parameters, weaknesses in basic programming, and their long history of data-loss and data-corruption is slightly lacking. Study up on it a bit and you may find yourself slightly amazed. Two important things to always remember are that 'Google is NOT your friend' and that their main purpose it to track you and gather all the info they can on you. It's a major source of income for them. SW -- This message brought to you by: Cool Canadian Air® Packed fresh every day in the Hudson Bay and shipped to your door. |
