| Post subject: | Handbrake Mech Question |
Afternoon All I had the rear discs off yesterday to clean up/adjust the handbrake shoes as there was quite a lot of travel on the lever. This is now fixed and lever travel is minimal. However I still have an issue where occasionally, although the handbrake is on tight, the brake seems to have low effort. Other times it is rock solid. I did notice that on the N/S, the lever that attaches the the handbrake cable, at the bottom of the shoes, seems to flap about when handbrake off. With brake applied it is rock solid. Never noticed the O/S one as did that side first, but seem to recall it moved around a little with brake off, just not as much as the O/S one. Once in I also lubricated all the handbrake gubbings which all seemed very non lubricated shall we say! Question is, should that thing flap about or is something maybe broken? Or if that is normal maybe it will settle down now all is moving freely? Cheers Stuart |

Oddly - I posted almost exactly the same things a couple of weeks ago - still not resolved the issue and the brakes are still shite even with new discs and shoes... If you find a solution then please post it and put me out of my misery .. G |

Will do. May be nothing or may be critical! Funnily my handbrake is perfect 4 times out of 5! Weird. Stuart |
