ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

    E-Brake is loose

    Ok, so my e brake is pretty darn loose. I was considering tightening it, but then had the worst thought. What if its loose because my brake pads are wearing out?

    Is there a simple method to tell when its time for replacing the brake pads?

      There is an adjuster and also check your ebrake cable.

        ok, got the whole tightening the ebrake cable thing...I'm just trying to think of scenerios where it would get loose other than excessive use or brake pad wear.

                check the online workshop cant be said simpler. and to check if your brake pads are worn out take off your wheel and look. Thought that was common sense

                    sorry I know it sounds like common sense... kinda like spoiled milk. You don't know what spoiled milk smells like until someone tells you "hey, smell this. this milk is spoiled."

                    I do not know what a new and a used break pad looks like...I have about 2 months experience working on cars.
