Is it just mine or does everyones do this? When I put my e-brake on i can put my jeep in nuetral and it will roll backwards like I dont have an e-brake on but if I put it in drive and try to go it doesnt move. I can push the gass pretty far down and my e-brake works fine but in reverse it doesnt lock.

idk its so weird. it locks when trying to move my heep forward but backward its like i dont have one at all. the cable is tight and everything. its your cable tight? if its loose that might be why

dboots

well mine just doesnt work at all

The ebrake resists forward motion before it resists backwards motion, something to do with the spring layout and brake shoes.

Sounds like you need to adjust it a little tighter, how far up are you pulling it? Mine will stop the jeep from going forwards after a few clicks, but with the boat on the boat ramp I need to pull it all the way up to lock them the other direction.

They break a lot. NAPA has them. Not hard to do. just do one side at a time so you have a refference. I hate drums.

Nope. Mine works fine in both directions.

I got it where i pull it up where its difficult to pull it up anymore.

yes brake drums do suck really bad. I replaced the shoes before and it was a pain in the butt

Id rather have drum than disc anyday.

My e brake works, just gotta pull the lever all the way up on mine, buddies only gotta pul half or a little more and its engaged.

yeah i tightened the bracket under the jeep a little too much so I only can pull it about half way up
