Bloody Handbrake.
« on: 14 October 2006, 17:22 »
Hi Guys,

The GiT has it's mot this week and I can't get my handbrake to work. I've adjusted it up and it still useless.

Also one of the rear calipers is stickin gon in cold weather.

So can I fix my handbrake to get it through the MOT? If so how. I know I probably need a new set of rear calipers but I'm skinter than a skint thing that's just been mugged and lost it'd life savings.

Please tell me I can bodge it!

dsconnect handbake cables  squirt wd40  down the handbake mech and move the lever back and forwards by hand might free up .  dont get any wd40 on the discs or pads  :wink: :wink:

Ok so it looks like I need a new drivers side rear caliper. Arse!

Anyone know where the best place is to order one from?
