Back from the Dead!!!
My driver's side rear brake has this problem. The cable loosens and tightens but the spring on the caliper is not moving at all. I just hosed the entire area down with PB Blaster, hoping that helps, but is there some other way I can get it to work? Or is it just toast and I'll have to replace the caliper? These are maxima upgrade rear calipers btw. And on a B13... nice posting job, eh?
