Help installing E-brake
 

Hello,

I've had this STi Red-Stitched E-brake laying around for quite some time now. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to install it for me? Thanks.

I think it is three bolts... SUPER easy. Pretty sure Sybir told me how to do it.

Ok. I would need help taking the center console apart....

I don't have any tools to finish the job, would you mind showing me how to do it? Thanks-

You'll need a screwdriver, deep-socket 10/12mm sockets, and a 14mm socket, IIRC. Extensions will help.

Pull the console off (2 screws under the armrest).
Back off the adjuster nut and locknut on the ebrake cable.
Remove the 4 bolts holding the assembly to the trans tunnel.

Installation is the reverse of removal.
Adjust the ebrake cable to have 5-6 clicks for full engagement (swift pull), drive the car, make sure no dragging, and tweak as needed. If it's too tight, you'll smoke your ebrake drums in short order.

If that seems too complex, unclear, or risky, or you don't have those basic tools, then look up one of the fine vendors in your area (I can think of at least 3 vendors within a 20-30 minute drive) who will be able to bust it out for you quickly. If you're uncomfortable with those instructions, your first DIY should not involve the emergency braking system on a vehicle driven on public roads.

What took you so long to get in here? :D

Holy Balls that sounds complex....

Well, I guess I'm going to have to find a vendor then....

Anyone willing to help me out?! I msg'ed a couple of vendors and still haven't gotten a reply. I'll pay you $25 dollars to do the job right! Thanks.

/You sure you don't want my Carbon Fiber ebrake handle. Looks much better then red stitch. :lol:

Oh and buy it for a low price of $75 and it comes with a free install.. :lol:
