The UK is England, Scotland, Wales %26amp; Northern Ireland altogether,
Oxfordshire is in England,
Are you one of these people who only calls England, the UK?

A Co-Worker at Work has a Stuck Parking-Brake.. How does he Fix it?!?
He has a 1998 Dodge Caravan. Disc-Brakes in Front, Drums in Rear.
He Never uses his Parking-Brake.
Now, he Used it once, and it's STUCK!
He Drove home, and couldn't drive over 45 MPH.
He has Drum-Brakes in the Back, and those are the Brakes that are Stuck!! (Parking-Brakes are the Back Brakes)
I know it's nothing in the Front, because the Front-Wheels are Easy to Spin. The Back ones are Hard, and make a Creaking noise when moved.
Is this a Simple Fix, by Removing the Tire/Wheel and Drum-Cover?!?
Is it just a simple Rusted-part that needs Oiled %26amp; Greased, to Move?!?
I have 4-Wheel Discs on my Own Car, so I've never had this Happen to me Personally.
I pull My E-Brake every time I change my Motor Oil.
This guy NEVER uses his!
Let me Know what needs done. I mean, it's Got to be Simple to take Care of. I Replace Disc-Brakes for people on the Side. Drums are abit unknown to me.A Co-Worker at Work has a Stuck Parking-Brake.. How does he Fix it?!?
The cable that operates the drum parking brakes might be stuck somewhere( check if it moves freely under the car, by pulling on it, also check the inside through where tha brake cable goes)
Also check the cable and mechanism for the releasing of the parking brake
Good Luck

Lack of use causes them to seize. He will need wd-40, a hammer and some ingenuity.drawing a circle single beds

Hyundai coupe 98 steering wheel vibrations when hitting the brake?
I feel annoying vibrations in the steering wheel when I hit the brake pedal. (it happens ONLY when I hit the brake). Discs %26amp; pads were changed (using EBC turbo groove discs %26amp; pads greenstuff) about 2 months ago. Carrier Tents (sorry I dont know the exact term, I mean the wads that hold the spar) were also changed recently. I need to know what can be the possible reasons for this and what I should look at/check FIRST any help on how to figure out what the problem is would be appreciated thank you.Hyundai coupe 98 steering wheel vibrations when hitting the brake?
One more idea... Often times a rotor that gets overheated by excessive braking will warp and cause a pulse feeling on the brake pedal, if there are worn front end bushings,wheel bearings or steering box problems they will get worse upon braking. The brakes are designed for normal speeds and use, any over use will heat them up.Hyundai coupe 98 steering wheel vibrations when hitting the brake?
Sounds like warped rotors from either a poor resurfacing job or overtightening the lug nuts. Either way take it back and complain because it is their fault!!! Unless you took it somewhere else and had tires put on or if anyone else has had the wheels off since they did the brakes. I have seen this alot from overtightening or incorrectly tightening the lug nuts. A good shop would take care of this for free if you took it back to them. In the future when you have your car worked on and something is different than before or doesnt seem right take it back asap. I guarantee they will ask why you waited so long.Hyundai coupe 98 steering wheel vibrations when hitting the brake?
seems like brake chatter, since you had them changed. probably weren't done right.

If I were to choose a 360 small block engine, what changes and modifications would i need in my 65 dodge dart?
Im thinking of putting the 360 small block engine in my 1965 dodge dart. One of the people who answered my question mentioned changes I would have to make on the front %26amp; rear suspension, new disk brakes ect...
Can someone walk me through exactly what i would need to do? how much its going to cost?If I were to choose a 360 small block engine, what changes and modifications would i need in my 65 dodge dart?
Well the actual needed changes are small. But the %26quot;want to changes%26quot; are big. You need to change the motor mounts..Schumaker makes em. You may need to change the tranny to a 904 auto. Get the correct throttle linkage. Sure there may be some fuel lines, brackets, etc etc etc that need to be changed. Now for the wants. You may want to upgrade to a beefier suspension, you may want to upgrade the brakes for better stopping power, and may want to upgrade the ignition. It is a straight forward swap if you take your time. Try going to www.moparts.com They will help you out. Very knowledgable. Many have done that exact same swap, many times. Heck they may even be able to post some of there picks. Use them, they are a great resource for EVERYTHING you need or question you have.

How much does a front brake job for an '06 Dodge Charger cost?
I think all it needs is for the brake pads to be changed. There is a little squeaking but very minor so I think the discs are ok. These brakes are high performance brakes that came with the car off the lot.How much does a front brake job for an %26039;06 Dodge Charger cost?
Whatever you do...DO NOT got to a chain brake shop such as Brake Team or Just Brakes, they are thieves and will sell you hundreds in stuff you do not need... you will NEVER get out of their shop with the 99.88 all four wheel brake job.... This I Guarantee... Brake Team out west quoted my brother 1600.00 in brake work, he declined and asked for it in writing, they refused...he took it to a friends shop and they discovered the brakes were brand new, but a caliper pin had broken... Total cost of repair = 7.00 , oh he had just bought the van and heard this noise so he took it in to see what it was, not knowing the condition of his brakes at all...
This is a true story and typical of these brake shops... Good LuckHow much does a front brake job for an %26039;06 Dodge Charger cost?
A milli.How much does a front brake job for an %26039;06 Dodge Charger cost?
get a premium grade pad...too nice a car to be cheap..and get the rotors resurfaced..if pad wear was even..all hardware and calipers should be ok..if not repair as nessecary...should be aroubd $100

How do i know when i have to replace my rotors?
I have a Honda Civic 04 DX with Discs in the front and drums in the back. I have changed the brake pads at 60K but I want more info on RotorsHow do i know when i have to replace my rotors?
The minimum machining limits on most Japanese vehicles (at least here in Japan) is inside the rotor itself. It must be removed in order to see it. It generally will say %26quot;Min 19mm%26quot;, or something similiar.
For some reason, people think you must machine or %26quot;turn%26quot; the rotors every brake change, which is untrue. Most rotors can only handle 2-3 turnings (depending on how much material is removed), while some specify no machining at all...simply replace. They should not need it unless they have been grooved, warped, or have some condition that makes if necessary.
Vibrations while braking (usually in the brake pedal itself) can indicate rotors that are out of round, a faulty caliper, or incorrectly adjusted rear drum brake(s). (YES..loose shoes that refuse to self-adjust can give similiar symptoms)
Measurements must be made with a micrometer in several places going towards the center of the rotor if possible. (Go with the smallest reading if it varies). Never with a set of calipers, which can only measure the widest point at the outer edge. (Not accurate, as the edges can flare slightly, and rust can throw off the reading). A wrench is ok in a pinch, like looking thru a junkyard for a decent replacement (if you go that route), but keep in mind, a 19 mm wrench measures slightly over 19 mm.. (.4mm or .015 in. wider) otherwise, to get it over a 19 mm nut, it would be a press fit.
Factory replacements can run a couple hundred dollars, but I'm sure you can find a quality replacement for much cheaper. I'm not familiar with your particular model, but generally Hondas only require tire removal, then brake caliper, and finally the two machine screws which hold the rotor snugly to the spindle to replace the rotor. (Most common with smaller bodied Hondas)
Some require a puller to remove the rotor from the hub bearing (much more expensive)..but, more common with larger models (Legends and Inspires etc..)
Hope this helps...How do i know when i have to replace my rotors?
You should always change them if there are any deep grooves in them. Otherwise, use a micrometer to determine their thickness and compare it to factory specs.How do i know when i have to replace my rotors?
take one into the nearest autoparts store and have them measure is the best way. Also there is a chamfer on the egde of a rotor look for it, if you do not see the chamfer you are getting really close and definately should have them measured.How do i know when i have to replace my rotors?
well when you changed your pads you were supposed to get them machined. they will tell you what kind of condition they are in. if you did get them resurfaced and they shake and feel different you probley will need some new ones. they are not very expensive and easy to changeHow do i know when i have to replace my rotors?
You can sometimes tell when you're braking, you'll feel and hear a light thudding sound every 1-2 seconds, which indicates uneven groove and wear. They can also be too thin, but you'll need a micrometer to check for this (standard width is 19mm, I believe).
Typically, a shop will re-groove them to smooth them out, but this can only be done 1-2 times, then you have to change the rotors.
A garage will give you an inspection for a small fee ($20-50) or an auto parts store will eyeball and measure them for you if you remove the tire. Cost for new pair is $150-250, depending on where you live. To replace will cost you about the same. Good luck!How do i know when i have to replace my rotors?
The minimum service limit for those rotors is 19mm. If there is no ridge on the outside of the rotor (you should have had them machined when you replaced your pads, so there should be no ridge). Try to fit a 19mm or 3/4 inch (the standard equivalent) open end wrench over the edge of the rotor. If it fits, your rotors are too thin and need to be replaced. You do not need to replace them to get rid of a brake pulse if there is still enough material to have them machined.
