how and why

[astars25]

like it says.... just curious and is it really easy to take the parking break off and do you need the block off if you do take it off

[Cotton eyed Joe]

To take it off, you unbolt it, and throw it.

 

Yes, you need a block off, because there is the back of your brake piston that comes out from the back of the brake. You don't want dirt and shit getting in that rear brake seal. That thing poking out is how your parking brake works (when it actually does work).

waht i did is just removed the end where the cable is held and cut off the big ass arm, removed the adjustment bolt cut it really short so it wont contact the piston put a washer to hold the rubber cover in place. with out the bolt shit will go right onto the applier piston.

That will work.

 

But a block off plate is like ten bucks or so at most places, and it kind of adds a little bling to the caliper. (if you get a billit one).

 

six reasons to scrap that POS:

 

1. the parking brake sucks, constantly has to be adjusted to work properly

2. the cable runs right in front if the cc dip stick...pain in the ass

3. the stupid rev limiter that is part of it is allways causing people problems

4. the stock perch is a cluster f*ck because of it

5. removes a good meals worth of weight

6. looks alot cleaner with out it.

 

Plus I put on a "Works Connection Elite Perch" on, alittle pricey ($120), but man is it sweet. It has to be one of the nicest quality aftermarket products I've put on my shee, smooth as butter and it looks trick as hell.

 

I just did mine this year, and I wish I'd tossed that crap a long time ago.
