Hi all,

I have a 2004 Suzuki Z400 and I recently attempted to adjust my parking brake. I say attempted because I was turning the adjustment bolt as I have in the past, but this time the bolt suddenly snaps off. I didn't feel that I was over turning it, but appearently I did. After dissassembling the parking brake housing to find out which parts I need to replace, I came to find out that half of the bolt was stuck inside of the adjustment slide. I've tried for hours to get the remaining bolt half out (using heat, easy-outs, handsaws, etc.), but have had no success. I am now looking to purchase the adjustment slide that goes inside the parking brake housing (and which the adjustment bolt threads into), or possibly just buy a block off plate.

Now, on to my question. Has anyone used a parking brake block off plate and would they recommend it? Or, has anyone installed a block off plate and would like to sell the adjustment slide from inside their old parking brake housing?

Thanks for any input and feel free to ask questions...

 

i took my parking brake off and still have all the parts sitting in the garage. ill check to make sure i still havem.. make me an offer on the parts. ill send the cable and everything i can find for the parking brake.

 

i cant find 21 but i got the two you pointed to.

 

Here is a pic of the parts.

 

Hi o2bfst,

Wow! Thank you for the quick reply and picture! I can't quite tell from the attached image, but is the adjustment insert that fits inside the housing included? I'm not sure if you would be interested in seperating your parts, but I am really just looking for the adjustment slide. I've attached a couple of images of my damaged slide for reference.

Thanks again for your quick response.

 

i have no use for the parts. i no longer have a parking brake. shoot me an offer. chances are im not going to refuse it. i wont seperate the part becausei dont want half a parking brake sitting here.

 

E-brake shipped out this afternoon.
