Default Hand brake - no adjustment left

As above, how do I get round the problem? New cable?

Does the h-brake work on the rear disks as normal or is there a weird 4WD thing going on?

Thanks

Default Hand brake help

Hi Howie,

I take it you've not done a search on here then ;-)

The handbrake on a Turbo model operates shoes inside a drum which is part of the rear disc bell. To adjust you rotate a fiddly little toothed wheel. This is found by removing the rubber bung in the bottom of the back plate. A long slim handle flat blade driver is best. Adjust until the rear wheel just locks then loosen 3 clicks.

Best regards,

Ian
