Hangman3 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Hi, I am having a pig of a job getting the handbrake to work (drum type). It has a new cable, all the components are free & moving, there appears to be no wear on the drum (no lip) A the shoes seem to have plenty of life in them (see pic). Has anyone got any suggestions please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Are the shoes moving/making contact with the footbrake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman3 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Hi, When used as a footbrake they seem to work fine. I moved the adjusters s that they were binding (I know this is wrong), but even then If I pulled the lever up seriously hard, when I tried to drive away the car would dip @ the rear but would not hold. If I pull the handbrake while in motion, the wheels do not lock up even on a relatively gravely surface. Someone mentioned to me that there are two different sizes in shoes. How do I find out if this is correct as eBay can be quite vague when buying even if you ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
