    Hey guys i was wondering!!! would it be ok to leave the E BRAKE undone on the back of the mav? The reason im asking is that its keeping the new brake pads pushed out and the hub wont go on, but when i unhooked the the cable from the brake everything just slides together great. So what do u maverick mechanics think?:thumbs2:

    You may have a stuck cable. If not about mid way on the car you will see where the forward cable is attached to an intermediate cable. There should be an adjustment at this point. Simply back off this adjustment to correct he problem.
