X BRAKE OVER STANDARD HANDBRAKE

<< < (2/2)

muddyjames:
Matt_h actually bought a defender one for his dicso and made diagrams of how it needs to be set up for a disco and sent them to X brake.

He was very impressed with it. I have no idea how much they cost though. Can someone enlighten me?

My hand brake is useless since a pay and play day and it just holds on the last click. Luckily it is an auto though so doesnt really need a handbrake except for an mot!!!!

How easy is it to clean out a disco normal break?

spy:
Its not complicated but is an arse of a job.  Getting the drum off is the problem, prop off first and then like me you will probably find that the adjuster is seized solid.  Getting the drum off with the shoes adjusted up is a nitemare.  I borrowed the pit at work and it was still a pain, dont think I would have managed on my back.  

I cleaned it out, freed off the adjuster and replaced the expander.  Took it offroad twice and its half way to being as scewed as it was before!

muddyjames:
I had a quick look a few weeks ago and thought it wasnt a hours job. I have 4 ramps so can get the landy up slightly higher!!!

My break is still free to move so hopefuly not too bad on siezing etc. Famous last words :wink:

I think P on the auto box will work for now!! The hand brake works on the very last click!!

How easy is a X brake to plumb in then?

Fitted mine sat afternoon, did exactly what it said on the tin, about hour to fit-laid on back on driveway-, and works superb, buy one and not have to worry again :lol:

stefan:
Definately go for it, have one on my 90, definately a fit and forget. Took about an hour to fit.
