As you know to the floor ain't good. If you pull on the E brake then hit the brakes that'll quickly tell you if it's a rear brake clearance problem or not. If your brake shop has arcing equipment it made a difference on my braking with my used shoes & I'd do it with new ones too.


Unfortunately, when I had the body shop replace the floorpans they neglected to weld the e-brake cable guide bracket back in Fortunately I have the bracket, I just need to get the car to the shop to have it done (among other things- hence my trying to get the car road-worthy).

I guess I can adjust the cable to take up the extra slack but I don't know if that would affect the test. I'm assuming that if after applying the e-brake and hitting the brake pedal, if I notice that it doesn't go to the floor anymore that the back brakes are the culprit? And if there's no change then I might want to focus my attention to the front brakes?
