Parking Break Pedal

[redwolf624]

ok, this has been slightly botherin me and i've been puttin this project off for a long time, since march actually, when i press the parkin break pedal all the way to the floor is clicks back up untill it's a little higher than the clutch pedal, i've seen other comanches that'll have em all the way to the floor, is there a way to adjust em, is the break cable too short? what could be causin this? when i set that break pedal it doesn't roll but if i slam my door hard it'll pop off  :doh: any ideas?

It usually means the teeth are stripped on the mechanism. Get under there with a flash light to look at it.

Or it could mean that the mechanism needs to be cleaned and lubricated.

if they're stripped i'm lookin for more of a rounded tooth right?

i'm hopin that's all it is, but yet again, i got a rusty one in my room just incase that one's trash and it goes all the way down,

If the teeth are stripped you will have a few good teeth on each end to look at for comparison. The teeth should look the same all the way across. It may be gummed up but this is a common problem to strip out. I think jeep had a recall or service information on this back in the day.

The teeth were fubar'd on my 92. Cleaning it did nothing for me.

Resharpen the teeth on the rotating assembly using a cutting blade and a grinder. Also weld on a new "tip" for the locking mechanism. Grind down to fit.

 

 

I still have not perfected mine, but thats only because i am to lazy/busy to tear that whole mess out and fix what needs fixin. But, the rebuild platform is sound and can be made even better than factory with a little fine tuning.
