EA-82 4WD rear brake ?

Featured Replies

I've read on here that certain years of the EA-82's had self adjusting rear brakes.

 

Question is, what year(s) and model(s) had them?

 

Would really like to go with discs on the rears, but they're hard to come by, so something better than the ones under the rear of the '86 BRAT would be nice.

 

Had to argue with the adjusters again today. Felt the rears needed some tweakage while I had it up on the hoist doing the front bearings.

 

Be damned if they weren't siezed up again, and it hasn't been that long ago I had them all nice and pretty. Anti-siezed and what have you.

 

So it's "time" for something better.

 

I swapped the Wife's '85 BRAT to rear discs, I'm really liking that upgrade. I can settle for self adjusters for mine though.

I'm pretty sure my 86 4X4 EA82 wagon had them. 88 & up do. At least in 4x4 wagons.

Thanks for the info.

 

Was thinking I had read that only a couple years had them, guess the grey matter is failing a bit.
