E-brake jam (archives down)

[txrocco@sbcglobal.net (Patrick Bureau)]

its a known failure on the A1 rear disc brakes,
most upgrade to A2 or A3 calipers (flipping them
upside down and the issue never comes back, I am sure
a few on the list have done this in the past...

other than ordering a new or reman one, I dont thin
there is an actual rebuild kit for them anymore.
