Got a 14ff, drum brakes. Ebrake had been working fine till a couple weeks ago, put it on and it made a really loud pop at the bottom of the pedal. Since then it doesnt hold wortha damn. I adjusted the equalizer nut out all the way, even hadta add a spacer to make it adjust more. Still doesnt hold. Adjusted up the rear shoes tight, still nothing.

I can push it down, pedal 'feels' tight, but let foot off the brake pedal and itll roll forward till it catches in the tranny. I hate that feeling, so thats why Im wantin to get this fixed. I can hear the parts in the drum moving when I have someone push down on the pedal so I dont think its a broken cable or anything like that.

Is there any kind of adjustment on the ebrake pedal?
 
I had a 12 bolt pull the tit off the end of the cable inside the drum............similar symptons. :wink1:
