Re: Brake Fade? What Brake Fade?

Wow! You-all saved me some time. What has been described as a fix will be done at the shop. I do not mess with brakes at all, except for checking the fluid. I should've know to apply this policy to the e-brake as well.

I just have one comment: If the e-brake cable needs to have slack or be removed before adjusting the rear brakes, then it would seem to me that the cable would need to be tightened again after the shoes have been adjusted.

The shop manual seems to have some pretty clear instructions on how to adjust the cable following the brake adjustment.

I'm sure glad I checked in here before just going ahead and wrenching on it.

Thanks to all for sharing this information!
