              ok i need to get them off tomorrow then the car is about to go before i have to pay the county for the junk sitting here. what do new ones cost? i might just buy new so i know they will not bind up like the one on my 323 is doing. i cant pull the e-brake on it or it sticks and i have to stop and get under it and pop it free lol

                theres a write up on how to keep em from sticking like they do ill find you the link or you can look for the ebrake spring mod. i would pull em and just put em on they are simple to replace (once exhaust and shields are out of the way)
