Great video! You saved my Jeep!

Very clever.

Thanks took 2 seconds I was planning on adjusting drums, you saved me.

Thank you my friend, I just adjusted the brand new brake assemblies from the rear twice with no change in holding power. About to blow a gasket when found your video and I work on clocks and springs a lot. I was going try to rig some spacers before watching now just running to Ace for a couple springs then get that ugly rejection sticker off windshield tomorrow. GREAT VIDEO!!!

Can you write down that Aussie word for the string? Sounded like "ockey strap" but when I search, it doesn't show up.

how did you update to dsmx firmware? Thanks!

Is it necessary to attach the steel cable in this way? Would it not work without removing the centre console? JK 2013

It could be just maintenance. If you want to save yourself time and trouble. First try lubricating the area between the handle and were the springs are. My wrangle did the same thing and I fixed it with some lubricant. It has been working for 7 months so far.

Throw some shrimp on the Barbie mate!

I held the tab back with safety wire

Clever!!

Thanks Dave video is 8 years old I just saw it this has been a problem for my jeep as well will hook into it today hopefully it will fix the problem cheers Gary in Brisbane

You've really got something there because now this can become a winch mount

No wonder, its made in Canada.

Friggin' Jeep finally fixed this problem on the JLs. Remove 2 simple bolts at the back of the unit (from the back seats), gently lift the console, take your handy socket and slide it in and make on simple adjustment to tighten the brake lines. Really cant believe it took Jeep that many years to make the fix...

Thank you for the suggestion. I actually pushed the bracket back with s screwdriver as an interim fix. I may implement your shock cable solution to keep it tensioned.

I've been fighting with this for a while and was going take my center console out again to try another adjustment. Pumping the handle actually worked!!! This is way easier than the alternative! Thanks!

zzzzClockspring can be tightened using 400mm piece of lacing wire fed under the spring & a loop hooked on to the spring and pulled around to the back(eld with a 4mm rod) Wire again fed under the spring from front & pulled again to hook on the original lug. wire slipped off spring a few times. A couple of steel rulers down side of spring & housing might stop wire slipping offggg

After a lifetime of working on vehicles (not jeep), I have never come across a more complicated USELESS dangerous, and unreliable system very badly engineered. A simple adjusting screw on the short cable would suffice and quality cables that do not stretch as much. Another improvement would be to look at the mechanical advantage mechanism in the brake drum which would require less tension on the cables My Toyota surf is 32 years old and has never had an issue with the cables stretching

Ok

Thanks Dave for the excellent video! my wife's 2010 Jeep has been to the mechanic twice for break adjustment and still won't hold! Now I know how to fix it right. Happy wife happy life!

wow man smart way thanks

Well done!!

Thanks a lot ! Very helpful. Greetings from Germany !

Hola, desde Chile, Mi solucion: Puse dos tie down juntando 4 a 5 vueltas de los resortes a la entrada del tambor, quitandoles tension, ambos lados igual, no tuve que sacar la consola, es muy facil, solo hay que meterse por debajo para colocar en 5 minutos, y quedo espectacular. No esta demas ajustar las balatas del tambor girando la ruedecilla a traves de la ventanita para tal efecto

Thank you. Did the simolar stuff. Lovely hanbrake strength. I have to rev 1000 rpm in order to move the car now.

I changed my entire Jeep for a 3 years younger one. Guess what, still the same problem. Don't we love Jeep?

Could this be used to mount a bike rack to the front bumper? Thanks for your video!!

I had failing hand brake in dodge nitro 3 years in a row. Changed 2 times lever with drum, still had problems with passing mot. Finally I replaced cast drums with one drum, custom made out of stainless steel , and then drum with lines was welded permanently to lever. It took me around 40 hours to make custom drum out of stainless steel but it was worth it. Ever since hand brake was solid , car wouldnt moove on drive with hand brake on.

Hi. The same I can fix hand break in jeep kj 2.8CRD 2003r?

Cool! Tell us more about your ground station rc.

This is perfect. Life saver mod. Where did you get the hooks? Home depot shoukd have them right? Thanks for the video!

great stuff

Hi Dave are you able to post closer shots of the individual parts disassembled and fitted?

Overkill - just adjust your e brake at the tire! If this doesnt work its time to replace the pads.

Where did you buy your Front tow bar

That hook you put around that bolt is the bolt for the airbag module you'd probably be fine but those modules are sensitive as frig there is a small chance it may set off the air bags if the hook ever came off but as I said before you'll probably be fine

Thanks for this. My ebrake has driven me up the wall and cost many $$ with no result.

We replaced the entire floor unit, hat rotors and shoes, adjusted multiple times, it still mediocre on hills. We also had to add spacers on both the cables (used split nuts)-its a design that is too clever for its own good

Very cool!

Brilliant!!

please tell us if this fix is still working six months later

thank you.

that last part on how to get the console back on was exactly what I needed...thank you sir

Thanks for this video, doing thos fix this weekend. Stupid design, should have been direct to wire and made a little panel that opened in the console for adjusting if need be.

bravo!! ottimo video!!

That could actually work well for a portable winch.

Hey Charles, that's one I had just finished making for myself. Its not for pulling the vehicle though, its for pushing a trailer/caravan for much greater manouverability.
