Hi,
MOT failed = ineffective handbrake.
Tightened cable, o/s functioning but not n/s.
Took off the brake drum, gave it a clean with some sandpaper and a wire brush. But when I re-fitted it the whole thing has seized somehow?! Now with the drum fitted it won't even turn. Have tried freeing off the bit where the handbrake joins the back of the hub with wd40 and loosening the handbrake cable, but it's like the return mechanism isn't doing its job and the shoes are stuck in the "pressed out" position?
Any ideas guys?
Angus
