just been swapping my alloys over to winter wheels and on the back could spin the wheels slightly so asked my dad to put hand brake on he said it was "/

do brembo 2 pop not work against the disc then but locks the diff maby?

just puzzled me

Thanks Dan

 

All Impreza handbrakes work the same way: the disc incorporates a drum, inside which are two brake shoes which move outwards, pressing against the drum when the lever is pulled.
How many clicks does the handbrake come up before it's on?
And were BOTH wheels able to move, or just one side?
If it's one side, that side might want adjusting/freeing off.

 

Ah okay thanks!! I get 5 clicks and yeah it both wheels that's free on th disc,

Just confused me at 1st! Not that I've ever done this or ever will, but how do people I see in scoobys doing handbrake turns into drifts?

 

hydraulic handbrake maybe? cant be a good idea with a cable

 

Yeah maby your right, nah deffently not what I would recommend on a cable,

 

there is an adjuster in the back of the drum of each wheel, sounds like this needs sorted - the cable adjuster in the cabin simply alters the "feel"...........

alyn

 

ah okay so should i not have any movement when its on?

 

not normally no..........

 

seems like a very weird type of brake to me! but then again on 2 pots maby its not as easy with single pot to include a leaver mechanism

 

ah okay ill have a look at getting it adjusted? is it a easy job? or could the shoes be worn its an 05 if that helps

 

You aren't understanding: the handbrake isn't anything to do with the car's brakes, single or two pot, it works on a totally separate system: a drum on the rear disc.
NOTHING to do with the footbrake.

 

i do understand just saying its weird to use a drum rather than a separate calliper like ive seen on other cars, suppose if it does the job
