I'm thinking now of possibly fabricating a piece from PVC pipe that would surround the existing base and create a clip part.

I broke this one and would like perhaps 2 to replace the ones challenged when I changed the door lock cylinders in my Ranger 1996 XLT. Used is fine, just not too expensive ... on a developing artist's budget. I've looked many places, except our local PicNSave ... Thanks goes to mfernandes in...

I took it back a final time and they say nothing is wrong. It had stuck one final.time in my driveway, but hasn't done so since. My parking break pedal does feel like it is stressing when applied, maybe going to break. I replaced it several years ago after the metal pedal broke off from use...

Thx ... Makes sense to me. I'll pass that along tomorrow evening when I drop off the truck for an overnight test/stay. They suggested I bring it back and leave it ... To try and reproduce the overnight issue ... Your solution sounds like it though. Theirs sounds like an inconvenient waste of time.

All they did was drive around the parking lot and since it didn't recreate an overnight sticking of the emergency brake ... Concluded nothing was wrong. I had gotten upset with "Tuesday at 2" appointments, so I also left again feeling like a fool. After sitting over night, the parking brake...

I'm headed back a 3rd time now for this "EBrake" line problem that got associated with fixing the brake cylinder leaks. Frustrated that they can't just fix this. The emergency brake still doesn't release a braking component (?) after it's been sitting overnight on a slight incline in my...

Sounds like a dealer price? That's disconcerting. I've lost confidence in other places I've tried. Maybe I'll look elsewhere next repair.

Oops. Mileage is more like 220k. My memory bank is a little corrupt. Also discovered a busted emergency brake line ... Causes delay in releasing emergency brake ... But still works. Right passenger side ok, but left branch sticking on first release in the morning. Getting it repaired next...

... to infinity & beyond, me hopes Oh btw ... 246k ....and counting (and the odometer is sluggish)

Went with our local Ford Dealership and their "FastLane" shop. Seemed reasonable. You mean my Ranger's not gonna last forever? Who ever heard of such a thing ... Lol

Been told I need new brake cylinders and drums. Adding fluid each week or so maintains working (?) brakes ... Who and what's the best way to handle this? Local dealer says parts no longer made by Ford, need generic brand. What's the options here? Engine also has strange sounds. Dealer exam...
