More a query than a problem. All relates to the handbrake on a 2007 X250 Ducato.
Doing a full refurbishment on front and rear brakes (new discs, pads, shoes, calipers cables etc) came to remove
the rear disc/drum as known problems with the handbrake.
I have done this before so know where the 'adjuster' is located, but found some paperwork from the last time I did the rear brakes and this caused me some minor confusion.
I have (what I think) is a page from 'A' manual, not sure if FIAT and this shows the Adjuster located at the TOP (12 o'clock) of the drum both in description and diagram.
Now I know the adjuster is at 3 o'clock so no great problem for backing off/ re-adjusting.
Really the query is, has the design of the brakes changed at some time, or is this just someone not checking the design before publishing ?.
Meanwhile nearly finished the rear brakes. Failed MOT on less than 50% efficiency on handbrake. Not suprised, both cables starting to fray (which the tester missed) and both sides well out of adjustement.
