Looking for diagram for 78 parking brakes
Forum: C3 Engines, Driveline and Handling
So as I'm playing with my parking brake cable the other day I end up locking up the driver's side parking brake on my 78. No more avoiding the fact that my parking brakes are bad now....
So I drill out the rivits and remove (without marking the exact fitment of the rotor, of course) the rotor and all the parking brakes on one side when I realize that since the set up is kind of hidden on the other side, I have no real idea how to hook up the new springs and brake hardware to the new shoes.
Does anyone have a diagram, and ideally a "how to" for installing the new parking brake hardware, springs, and shoes?

Pick up a Chilton's or Haynes repair manual or get the service manual for your vet ...they describe the whole procedure pretty good.

recommendation of Chilton's, Haynes or the FSM--but if you happen to
have a Corvette Central C3 catalog, they have a pretty good basic diagram
of the parking brake system on p. 36. No instructions are included, of
course; but it does give you an 'exploded' overview of the system's
components--
