ebrake problem - 9/2/2008 12:02:11 PM

Hello all,

My daughter has a 2000 Accent, and I have changed the brakes in the back. I have replaced everything: shoes, springs, calipers, etc. My problem is that I can not get the ebrake to hold when I put car in R or D. I have tried adjusting the ebrake cable. I have tried adjusting the self adjusting sprocket inside the drum. I had the wheel and drum off, and had my son pull up on the ebrake to see what is happening. the shoe is pulling sideways away from hub instead of back toward where the drum would be. Any help would be appreciated.
Getting very frustrated, and I need to get her car inspected asap. Thanks in advance.
Robert.

Have you tried taking it to a trained mechanic? Sometimes when we get to a point where we can''t solve a problem it''s better to take it to someone with experience. Especially when the problem is something critical like the brakes.
