Changed the back brake pads about a month ago should have done it then... handbrake pulls up to far for my liking.

Anyone want to give me some pointers, not sure how it done on a scooby..

is it easy to do...

 

the adjuster is under the centre console just behind the handbrake, simple job.

 

Lift back wheels
pull hand brake up 4-5 clicks
adjust the adjuster under console until wheels just start lock
Perfect hand brake

 

wouldnt be just adjusting the cable personally.

Slacken the cable off in the center console, Jack the rear of the car up and locate the rubber grommet on the back plate of the rear hubs, remove the grommet. Look inside with a torch you will see a star wheel bit like cars of old with drum brakes, adjust it up until the wheels lock up then back it back 4 clicks, then adjust the cable in the car to move 4-5 clicks on the handbrake.

refit grommets let the car down job done properly..

 

as above otherwise all you doing is stretching the cable............

 

Thanks for your reply's guys..👍

Going to have a crack at this the weekend, without sounding like a complete novice Rob, the back plate on the rear hub is this on the inside of the hub.?

It will proberbly be self explanitary when I start, but being a Carpenter can't picture this at the moment..😏want to get as much info as possible.

 

on the wide-track STi's its in the lower front face of the disc so easy to see.......

Lee, are you the guy with the nicest garage ever on SN? I seem to recall a garage that resembled a very tidy and clean environment, and enough room to park sideways!

Plenty of room for a job like this! Hope it goes well.

 

Cheers budd

 

Thank for the comments Pal..Nicest garage on scooby net I doubt it, I bet there there are some other lovley garages out there. however it is spotless in there and thats how I like to keep it..
