Rusty' Offroad web site show item number DBC-05, which is a 52" cable for $18.48 which is a lot less than I see listed on other sites. Have anyone used or is using these? What are your thoughts? My XJ have no parking brake since I installed the ZJ discs in 2008. I did leave the country July the same year and returned last year. I now drive the XJ 1 or 2 times per week and would like to the brake working again.
Another topic but related,....
A few days after I installed the rear discs, one side stuck and over heated after repeated brakeing in stop and go traffic. All I did was work the caliper back and forth a few times and the problem went away. Yesterday, under similar conditions, the same thing happened on the same side. This time I remove the caliper and inspected the slides They seem OK to me,...no scoreing, no rough spots, the rubber bellows in good shape and the slide have some grease on them.
What I plan to do is completely clean and grease the slides/pins and replace the rotors. The rotors and calipers were used items from the donor XJ. Now, I think the one that stuck is warped. The piston in the caliper move easy so I will not replace them (yet).
:wave: Anyone have any tips and tricks?
