Hi, Happy New Year & all =
that.
Just replaced all of the handbrake =
components on
the van, but seem unable to
get the handbrake to work with any =
effectiveness
(it only holds the van on a slope
on the top notch & then only =
just). The
M10 nut on the cable underneath the car
is almost at the end on the screw =
thread on the
(new) cables.
I suspect that I have not wound the =
adjusters out
enough to pre-set the shoes in
place before putting the drums back on =
but wanted
to check that I was not
missing anything obvious.
The springs all seem to be in the =
correct place and
I am sure that I have put the
correct threaded (left & right =
handed)
auto-adjuster on each side, however pumping
the footbrake does not seem to =
auto-adjust the
shoes.
Any suggestions gratefully =
received.
Thanks - Phil
