no handbrake!!

<< < (3/3)

Robbo:
nice article in LROI about transmission brakes.....nice timing....

Spacemud:
As already stated above, just to add my (so far) limited experience; it's just like a drumbrake but as part of the transmission.

Personnaly, I first wound the handbrake adjusting nut up a bit before realising that you can adjust them exactly the same as a drum brake. Once I realised, I wound the adjuster up until it was obviously gripping, then backed it off a little. Worked for me, and is spot on. Having said that, I doubt if mine gritty or rusted, might be worth removing your drum for a look?

RCRockCrawler:
I. Hate. Hand. Brakes.

Like James Harwood said, park on the flat and leave it in gear.  :)
