Adjusting a Chevy Cobalt Emergency/ Parking Brake - 09-11-2009

[sickpalms]

well i have an 08 cobalt and my button on my brake broke so how would i go about replacing that

[suburbanator91]

@sickpalms, mine did that too, only mine was under warranty when it happened; so I never got to do it. Given the critical nature of this combined with the fact that I have never done this, I can only advise that you get a service manual like Haynes or see a mechanic.

[irocz0r]

yeah you definitely sound like you're in the 1%.

[suburbanator91]

@irocz0r, nah, I'm actually in the 76% who works for the things he/ she wants and tries to make something of themselves. I am the 76% who does not feel entitled to anything and is not waiting for a hand out. Right back at you :)

I was completely thrown off by that off-handed political comment.

This is how you adjust it for alot of cars but it's different getting to the skrew

[BooSSted07Cobalt]

Big help man! Greatly appreciate the video

[gojohnson48]

hahahaha "no mr obama you cant have it, its mine! i earned it!" LOL well said sir :)

[akilli8989]

anyone know if adjusting a 1990 eclipse is similar? I guess I'm checking it out tomorrow.

[HoustonR6ryda]

keep your politcal views to your self-I like the this administration-

[ehlm1]

thanks man.. do u think its gonna work on a mustang?

[suburbanator91]

@ehlm1, not sure. I never worked on a Mustang. If you can't find any kind of adjustment on the cable somewhere my guess would have to be to look at the lever than. The best bet is to get a service manual. Haynes is probably the best as they reverse engineer the cars.

Thanks man! it helped alot! I have a subaru and its kinda similar.

[michaelrbanfield]

Thanks so much I have the same exact car, it really helped!

[Jaket2000]

I wish I had flat ground to fix my E-brake on my 280ZX. The previous jackass drifted it and treated it like crap.

[JeyOmatix]

You told us that you have a lot of miles on it so if it goes too high, it is probably that you should change your brake shoes. Nice video anyway ;)

[saoschiodos2112]

i use it quite often for drifting, and scaring kids

[fite265]

i love the president. keep your political views off your video and fix car.

[Tinnailart]

nice video, great humor. I have an accord hope its the same.

[ocb522]

Got a novel idea. 2010 with a stretched cable!!!!! Highly doubtful. How bout adjusting the parking brake shoes if you have drum in hat style OR if its drum style rears...clean and adjust!

[Abe4racing]

Good vid man!

I have a 2003 Mustang and wondered if the adjusting can be done the same way as in this car.

Thanks!

[boquenze]

[fr34kaccident]
