I have currently aquired a rearend and the tag is gone. I was wondering if it is a 9" or a 8"? I looked all over the housing and only found these numbers: 3L12.... 86M... and WAT.... Do they mean anything?
9" question:
I've got 79 Versailles 9" with disc brakes and am having a hell of a time with a parking brake. When pulling the cable from under the car, the calipers squeeze. But when trying to set it with the pull handle from inside, it won't budge. Also like that set up requires a foot pedal. Anyone know anything about this

it sounds to me like the mechanism inside the car is frozen, or near frozen. its also possible that the cable from the mechanism to the actual parking brake cables is frozen.

Full disclosure -
It was my mechanic. He took the assembly apart and reinstalled it today 6 times. He also took the calipers apart and reassembled them bc he thought they were frozen. He's thinking that the assembly itself requires more leverage than just the hand-pull e-brake...ie pedal brake or "pull up" brake.
well the first is the trouble you are having, with the parking brake. the second is the procedure to adjust the calipers each time you replace the pads.
