Oh no, seized hand brake

(1/2) > >>

hello,
i posted recently about my hand brake seizing.
i took it apart and it started raining and going dark and getting cold so i just freed up the hand brake and left it at that i knew i would have to be carefull and take it apart and clean it properly but it seized a day before i had planned to do this  :shock:

it has now seized so bad that it wont come apart, the adjuster nut is solid, i have snapped a spanner just by pushing with my hand
the only other thing that we havebeen told to do is get a big hammer and crack the drum but i dont have the money to buy a new one and even if i did all the shops are closed untill after christmas so ill miss out on the christmas off-roading  :(

does any one have any sugestions?

cheers kieran

give the hand break drum a few big hits with a hammer
is the hand break stuck on ?
or wont it adjust?

Sooooo glad i changed to disc.. I had this problem and yes a quick hit with a hammer sometimes releases it.. 8)

Just try leaving it in gear until youve either fixed it or youve saved up 4 an x-brake, land rover handbrakes are useless anyway everytime I take mine offroad the handbrake comes back nackered

hand brakes stuck on and the adjuster is stuck tight :shock:
