M35 Emergency Brake Worn Out

[SasquatchSanta]

The brake bands on my emergency brake are shot. Rivets are rubbing the drum.

If anyone has rebuilt their emergency brake recently I'd appreciate knowing if it's better to buy the lining (shoes) and install them yourself or buy the assembly?

Anybody got any on hand?

I just had a bunch of them that i scraped that were in great shape.

Why did you scrap them Sir? Ernie, I believe its 6 in one hand, half a dozen in the other. Check with Acetomatoco or whatever Ross goes by, I think he had lining kits. rampartsllc@aol.com

kenny. when you have a pile of parts sitting around for a year or so. you tend to start to clean house worst part is as soon as that happens someone needs something. But ill have more in due time

Randy, find out how much they are worth @scrap value and let us know B4 you scrap them!

I have purchased E-brake bands and riveted them on. Easy process and bands can be had off ebay or Saturn surplus. Just be sure to get the rivets with them. Common cost around $35-40.

WoW that is just wrong telling a guy you just scrape the parts he needs. Your cold.

Thanks for the input all.

I just purchased a set from Tactical Truck.

I hadn't paid much attention to my parking brake assembly. As long as it hold it's one of those things that doesn't get much attention.

Yesterday I heard a slight scraping noisethat sounded like it was coming from the transfer case. Before I could check it out it got worse --- sounded like the TC was about to drop out along with the drive shaft. Upon inspection I found the inner brake shoe lining completely gone and the outer lining worn so bad the rivets had let lose and are allowing it to rub and wedge against shoe and the drum. I guess you could say it's one of thise things that will last forever but when it decides it needs changed it wants changed "right now".

Hopefully the new assembly can be adjusted tight enough so it won't allow me to forget to release it when I start driving.

Thks again for the input.

OFFY will NO LONGER scrape them then. No one has never asked and i only can take a pile of parts sitting around so long. i will slowly start to build up a pile of them again for guys

Just send your pile to Ernie next time...

As forgetful as I am about releasing the parking brake I may need them.

I sometimes get more smoke out of the emergency brake than I do the stack.

Sasquatch, you did good getting them from Jeff at Tactical Truck for $75.
I hada set relined locally and it cost me $83.00. I save all I can from parts trucks and buy new ones whenever I can cause they're so hard to find when you need them
I have the new mustache springs that keep inner and oute separated if you need one. John Tennis

UPS delivered the new parking brake asembly shipped my Jeff at Tactical Truck today.

An hour later it was installed. Now when I park Rosie without having to run after her with a chock.

Everything looked like NOS. Thanks Jeff.
