how do these work then? just turn them then hammer drum on? hand brake non existent got full travel.as shoes have life in them should i try to get function back or (as i got new shoes&cable) bin the ones on the car??
ns shoes 5mm os shoes 7mm that bargain angle grinder turns out its 110v oh flippin heck i had a lip on ns drum but none on os lip removed think ill just replace cable and swop shoes/sides so they same on both sides and see how i go as im on my own on this
ns rear shoe seized freed it off then did lever thing now it seems i have functioning handbrake just gonna re adjust shoes then take it out for test run
story so far handbrake cable..... decided to replace it so round to mates with ramps pulled old one out just before i was going back under car thought id measure the two together AND guess what both identical in length!!!!
Can't remember where I heard it but stick it into reverse, get up some speed then slam on the anchors. This seems to throw out the shoes in some way. My Cinque failed the MOT on a poor hand brake last year. Garage did as above, passed MOT.
