e-brake cables all around (n00b help) (Page 1/1)

Hi Fiero world!

My e-brake cables are essentially missing, and it's time to put the new ones on. Problem is, I'm brand spanking new to project cars, and the most complex things I've done on a car up to this point are cleaning a throttle body on a Series III 3800, and changing many, many brakes/rotors.

So, I looked in the service manual and the instructions are . . . not great for the inexperienced. I figured I'd ask here: are there any good guides/videos that you guys would recommend to help me through this project?

Just bumping to clarify what I'm worried about: the thing that I'm not sure how to do is get the e-brake properly adjusted. Installing it seems fairly straightforward. So, if there are tips, I'd appreciate it. It not, I'll figure it out :-)

I have found that it works better to use google to search for info most of the time, I searched "fiero e brake adjustment" in google to get the above links.

Thanks, Larry--this is exactly what I was looking for. Also, lesson learned about the search (I did try searching the forum, and didn't manage to find any of those posts). Sorry to revisit a thoroughly discussed topic. :-)

Just make sure that someone hasn't deleted the parking brake by putting different callipers on the back. Fiero rear callipers are becoming increasingly hard to find, so many have used fronts on the rear. Works fine, but you lose the parking brake.
