I forgot to add - the ebrake itself works fine and the cable appears undamaged at the pedal. This is strictly a pedal problem.
 
From what I can see, the "ratchet" workings themselves are behind a panel.

Yes, there is a release spring that sometimes the wiring bundle gets in the way of so have to get up in there and move it so spring works.

#69 of 116 Rotor replacement by jlflemmons

Haven't got the vehicle here to look at right now, but wondering about front rotor replacement on a '99 2wd. Is the rotor pressed onto the hub, or is it easy to get the rotor off the hub?
 
Thanks,
 
Jim

Figured it out. Was a very simple design, though not one I had seen before. The bearings and spindle are one unit, and the rotor simply slips on over the lugs like a FWD car.
 
Now, getting it off of an 8 year old car took some 8lb persuasion, but still a simple repair.

My husband replaced the rear brake pads, rotors, and calipers. We have bled the brakes (all four wheels a couple of time), but brake petal is still spongy. Any ideas on what else to check? Thanks!

#73 of 116 Rear Brake Problem with 2000 Blazer by sands53042

Feb 19, 2008 (5:12 pm)

I have a 2000 4X4 Blazer with rear brake problems. For some reason, the rear brakes aren't grabbing. There's no air in the lines. I've bled the brakes a few times to try to fix the problem, so I know that's okay. After I bleed them, they will work for a day or two, but then quit working for no reason. There are no leaks that I can find, and there's plenty of brake fluid. Can anyone give me an idea of where to start to try to fix this problem?

#75 of 116 where the heck did the brake fluid go to??? by dan134

Sometimes vacuum from a defective power brake booster can suck it out and burn it in the engine. Otherwise you might have to test the system with a power bleeder. You might also look for brake fluid leaking under the dash, under the carpeting, by the brake pedal.
