[Shotimes] No Rear Brakes?

[Midwest SHO Specialists]

Shaun,

If both brakes are not functional, the first place I would look would be the
proportioning valve.  It is located at the driver's side front control arm,
connected to the arm by a rod.  If that rod is not connected to the control
arm and the valve, you will get very little rear braking.

I would suspect that the E-Brake problem is a seperate issue.  Is the
E-Brake pedal easy to push?
