- Emergency (Parking) Brake Pedal Assembly & Stuck Emergency (Parking) Rear Brake Cable
The emergency (parking) brake pedal stopped working, I made a mistake of removing the emergency (parking) brake pedal assembly. So the first part of this video is good for someone who needs to fix the emergency (parking) brake pedal assembly problems.
The second part of the video (rear drum brake) actually fixed my problem. The car in the video is a 1998 Dodge Caravan.

Thank you for sharing your technique Our 2013 Kia Soul sat for a week in the mid-May heat in SE Ohio, and when we returned, we couldn't release the parking brake. The car wouldn't roll, but dragged one wheel along the ground. Jacked it up, attempted to remove the wheel, but couldn't. and after trying a rubber mallet, switched to a sledge hammer and tapped around firmly, until the wheel started to rotate freely once again. I was worrying about hiring a tow truck to drag it out of our narrow, walled driveway to a shop for major repairs. We still have to get that wheel off to replace the tire eventually (tire tread is worn but not gone...NOT as a result of this issue) but we can do it at a time of OUR choosing. Thanks again for showing us what you did.
Thank you for taking the time to share, it will help other viewers
Thanks. Showing oops (or non-optimal) are the most educational. I just replaced the parking shoes in my 2002 Town & Country (rear disks, plus pads and hub-bearings). When done, and adjusted by trial and error (removing disk w/ calipers off), the parking shoes initially dragged slightly and the parking pedal held at half depressed. After driving a bit, the slight dragging sound (whosh-whosh) went away, but now with e-pedal at the floor the van doesn't hold on a slight hill. Hope not in the pedal self-adjuster since, as you show removing that part is a beast.
Very good advice about the "oops". Thank you for taking the time to share your results, it would help other viewers
Please include MAKE/MODEL info in video title. It makes it much, much easier to find it in a typical search. Thx
you are right
Exactly 😊😉
Thank you for the great video. You're brake assembly looks like the assembly on my 1996 SL320 Mercedes. They are all basically the same . I worked on it for an hour and realized that I will need to take it completely out to unlock the brake ; then I came across your video. You saved yourself alot of money by working on it yourself. You did a good job .
That's was funny when you said you didn't know many curse words or you'd say them . Working on automobiles can be frustrating and make you curse . I remember I was pulling a transmission out of my 1966 Chevelle Convertible and I was underneath the car , my 6 year old son said " Get a hammer and bam it out Daddy " . I laughed so hard at what he said. He knew I was frustrated by my curse words .
Have a good day .
yes, we share that frustration for the deeper and deeper (or never ending) hole we managed to dig in! Only those who really worked on similar things can understand!
I appreciated your wife asking questions..you do not need to know cuss words...just say things loud like..OH BRAKE SHOE!!! or FUSE !!!
that being said a genius would have checked the cable 1st but then we would not have learned anything..I was ready to pull my foot brake assembly apart but thanks to your video I will first put tension on the cable and see if the pedal works and I will look like a genius to my wife. Thanks to your hard work..I won't have to shout STUPID SHORT SCREW DRIVER!!! FUSE IT ALL!!!
Thank you for taking the time to share, and your tips 😁 it will help many other viewers.
AWESOME!!!!! SAVED ME ALOT OF MONEY
D
can you explain in words what exactly was the problem and what was the fix?
I understand that the problem was from the rear and not from the pedal, but why does the pedal didn't click when locking and release?
the problem was with the shoes adjustment?
please explain
Great info, I needed it. You saved me a lot of trouble and help me get my vehicle inspected. Thanks for the effort and time to post.
Thank you for the video - I have to remove my pedal soon as it is not latching into position when applying the parking brake. If you are going to get as deep into disconnecting electrical components as you did to remove your pedal, I hope you disconnected the battery first! This is important for safety reasons and may avoid damage to the vehicle's electrical system.
+Vincent Sullivan the video made a point of this (it is an easy test): you may not need to get deep, pull your cable first to test to see which part is the culprit
FETV You showed how to release tension , now show how to add tension
Thank you for this video, my question is- what was the original problem with the emergency brake cable, where did it actually break? My understanding there are three cables involved in this assembly, the rear right cable, the rear left cable, and the front cable.
the cable did not break. The release force was not strong enough to pull the cable back, that is why when I tried to feed the cable back into its housing, it came back. So either to lubricate the cable to weaken the resistance force, or replace the spring to increase the polling back force should fix it.
Great video, very helpful. Thanks a lot!
Best to disconnect the negative battery cable before poking around the electrical system. That way if a tool slips and you short out something, no blown fuses or fried wiring.
thank you for the reminder.
Dziękuję za film, pomógł mi w wymianie linki 🤘🇺🇲🇵🇱 pozdrawiam
Very good job. Well done, and much appreciated.
+flyifri thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.
Would this work on 2009 Volkswagen? My cousin is looking for a video for his.
Thanks for the info, you are one funny cool guy.
Hello. Thank you for posting the video. Just to save your life, next time you raise the car please use a jack to hold it up in addition to the jack that the car came with. That jack alone is to be sed to change a tire and for emergency uses only. Using just a single jack is dangerous. If the car slips off it, you may injure yourself or even die if you are pinned under the car. Safety FIRST! Have a good day.
TOUCHE'
Wow that was great,Thanks
I’m a idiot thank you so much for this video.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.
Thanks for the vid, very descriptive!
thank you for taking the time to provide feedback
So it sounds like the real problem was in the rear, and to fix it you simple adjust the brake shoes outward a little to take up the slack in the cable, is it correct?

360 vision?
Good video. I laughed when you said you don't know many curse words or else we would've heard them. If you want to be learn some curse words while working on a car, you can come over my garage and curse at cars with me haha
Yes, I was so frustrated with the stupid design, it was so difficult to just remove that **** pedal , ^_^ LOL !!!
lol I say I have enjoyed this lesson. My answer Too - you BOTH!
Truly Asian wisdom, check the cable on the rear wheels first before blindly working to dislodge the whole peddle assembly like all other UA-camrs did first.
Thank you for taking the time to view the complete video and provide very detailed comments.
Great Video!!!
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.
Quiero comprar el pedal del freno de mano
At 5:06 the cable cam with the spring was 180° out, I just twisted it back enough to install the front cable (2001 model) by hand, as reinstalled it assembled. But do watch how the spring is on there: it can slip off the mount.
Thank you for taking the time to chime in and to contribute & share to help others
Thanks very much for this video.
thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.
You are awesome you are a genius I will sub you
Thank you very much for the sub and taking the time to leave comments.
Good job.
I like how he pronounced "labor" at 2:30
I meant to say "label". It is not my native language. I only started my first abc English when I was in college.
Good video. Helped me alot
I don't know many swears but if I did u would have heard it... had me dying
I know many people understand and share that feeling
GREAT THANK YOU
1999 Chrysler emergency brake pedal stuck to floor so i can't release it, do U have a fix for this van? It looks like the same, would this apply to the 99 model?
+jerry maier at time 6:50, I was discussing you first need to decide if the problem is front or back. You should spend 3 seconds to pull the cable to make sure that you really need to do anything to the pedal. My mistake was to take huge efforts on the pedal and find out it was the problem at the rear.
Cool, Thank you
thank you for taking the time to provide feedback
TechLead is that you?
??? many years ago, my work title in one company was Tech Lead. This UA-cam channel produces the best and the original videos.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
How many hours to do this please
for some people it may take longer or shorter, I would say half day
Wish he had a flashlight
Sir, very good video. Can you please tell me the item number on the Craftman wrench the you show here.I cannot read it on this video. I am doing this on an old Lincoln and it is very similar. I hope that all 3 bolts are 10mm. The top rear one is very hard. I have seen some wrenches like this but only in SAE. Thats why i need that number. Thank you
yes 10mm. Some bolts also need 11 mm socket
Thank you sir. My main concern is the upper 3rd bolt that is hidden. Is it 10mm? Thank you very much. I would ash you for the number on that Craftsman 10mm wrench.
yes, if I remember correctly (it has been many years ago). I think all 3 had the same size. The upper 3rd bolt was hidden, it was tough to remove. But since you now know the design, you just need to take your time, to insert the thin wrench, wiggle to latch on, make quarter turns at a time, slowly you will remove it.
Yes sir, but could you read me the Craftsman number off that wrench? It is not easy to find. Thank you.
A few years ago, I had a contractor installing a new AC unit. He stole quite a few of my tools, I had recovered some tools from him before he finished his job, but later I found I still had many tools missing since I did not noticed they were missing at the time. This particular wrench was one of them, sorry I could not find the wrench, but it is a lesson I learned.
jeeez Take out Wrenched Ankle - WHO Designed that??? !!
One Massive Step Beyond a Flintstones Mobile.
No Worries about swear words, I would have said them for you.
You - W0W ~ GREAT!! Explained things Very Well, like Me, What NOT to do.
Now if I just had your Patience. ~ peace
thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.
Omg! Trade it in, sell it as is, junk it, burn it, dump it in a lake! That’s more work than I can process! Just kidding it is much for the weekday so plan the weekend, crack the cans open and drink the problem away. Loud music, cold beer and it’ll work out. More psychological than physical. This is the last of my mega gazillion dollar repairs for the old girl. Just to pass PA inspection. Ugh! Well one more can and I’ll have enough liquid courage to begin. My only real problem is what to do with all the extra bolts and screws when I’m finished. For some reason there are always extra left over. (Satire).
I share your finding of extra bolts and screws after the work. After many times problem, now I put the small parts in a serial order when I remove parts, and then when I re-install, I will follow the reverse ordering so that I won't miss any parts.
...nice 😂 @7:05
LOL, I swear I did not say nothing 😂
10 Milemair socket
All the cars I wrench on get potty mouthed!
The Chrysler engineers designed such "not-friendly-to-be-serviced" car lol
5:04
If you don't know many cuss words, work on a dodge, you'll develop some new ones! lol
Yes, LOL. You sounded like someone who worked on the dodge in the past and can relate how I felt.
I just recently came across this video. Is that a Mecedes? I have a E430 that my wife must have stomped on the parking brake and then the car sat for a while. Having a hell of a time trying to get it to release. And don't worry about the swear words, I said every Fucking one of them for you. LOL Thanks again. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thx.
it is a dodge caravan made by Chrysler before they merged with Mecedes. But this design is common to many models of various manufactures. Glad you share my frustration of a design with neverending removal of unrelated components, I feel equally good when someone is helping me to swear LOL 😂😂
Sir.Bolts are Not called SCREWS. Learn The Difference.
yes, in this video some fastners are very small without nuts, but technically they could be bolts because they are driven into metal plate with thread or plastic plate, sorry about that.
what are the 3 bolt sizes 10mm ? thank you in adavancee
Thanks for this video! It gave me the confidence to replace the parking brake cable on my '07 Dodge Caravan. Here's a video of the repair: ua-cam.com/video/hS-OxswqFBw/v-deo.htmlsi=bZRq1KdkX2D0J6_y
