Handbrake problem

(1/2) > >>

smo:
I went to go out in my 90 earlier and found that upon releasing the handbreak it "springs" back on, like its got a mind of its own. I cant seem to release it so it stays off....any ideas?  :evil:

Xtremeteam:
needs a bit lube inside the cable or the drum off & clean the mech up,on your motor it should be a direct entry handbrake cable so there aint much to the mech

smo:
Whats the best way of getting lube into the cable?

tiltboy:
You could also clean out the drum. The amount of mud that gets in there is quite amazing.

Take off the shoes and clean behind them, remove and clean expanders, refit shoes and drum, then adjust to correct take up.

Or - fit a disc kit!

Xtremeteam:
smo wont have expanders,its a direct entry set up  :wink:
