I have recently converted my 914 rear brakes to 911 ones. The changes were made from all the advice, threads, etc found on this site and 914club.com. I have been over the entire installation and everything seems in order and done correctly;
The problem relates to the left side rear e-brake shoes causing the rotor assembly not to rotate when everything is torqued down. The right side appears to rotate when torque is on the rotor. It appears the brake shoes are digging into the rotor when torque is applied. I do not notice any tracing of scaping anywhere on the inside of the rotor assembly. I am working on the idea that the clearance may be wrong such as brake shoes not arched properly, etc. These same shoes and rotors were used on the donating 911 so I am operating somewhat at a loss. Any information and advice is greatly appreciated. Steve Hurt shoguneaagle |

Sorry without picture I can't give you any advise. I had issues once when replacing the rear brake shoes on my 928s4, I couldn't get the rotor back on all the way. What had happened was the expander the cables hooked too, there was a piece that gotten turned around or put together wrong. Once that was found and put in proper order the rotor went right on. In short, it was holding the shoes out just a tad too far and it was hard to see with the eye, but just enough to not clear the rotor.
Pics help, post some. Good luck |
