James92 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 My e-brake goes up with an aggressive whack when I release it. Is there supposed to be a rubber stop here? It looks like there is a hole for one to mount. Anyone know where I can get one that'll fit? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The86manche Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Yes, there is supposed to be a rubber stop there. No clue if you could find one new. Maybe pull one from a junkyard yj? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle_SX4 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I just used a piece of 5/8 heater hose as a cushion. I bent the tab where the rubber bumper should go up slightly. Then slid the hose over the end of it. Not as much cushion as a rubber bumper but better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzaman09 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I always put my foot on the brake pedal and lift it carefully so it doesn't go whak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good idea and the same things I do after rebuilding the parking brake. Really helps the pawl and sprocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was fortunate to find a replacement assembly for mine as it was completely destroyed when I purchased my truck. I don't need it wearing out. Also I've wacked my hand a few times pulling the lever and letting the pedal hit my hand, no fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James92 Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 Thanks guys. Heater hose is a good idea. I have been using my foot to stop the aggressive swing as well. I guess I'll just keep doing it! Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I found one that fit great at Ace on the hardware section. It was a Hillman part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
