Gromit Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 just finished changing the handbrake shoes and transfer output oil seal. Thanks to Les' tech article, I knew where I was going and it was a breeze (makes a change!) As I was changing the shoes, I took the adjuster and expander assemblies off. One tip, when you're putting the whole lot back together, mark a horizontal line on the tapered actuator on the expander assembly so it doesn't move. Fit the top and bottom rollers and pistons (the right way round!) and hold the bottom one in place with a tie wrap round the edge of the piston. Fit the shoes, snip the tie wraps, job done. Handbrake is a bit noisy so I've it backed off to full on at 6 clicks till it beds in. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Thanks Gromit . I use thick grease to hold the gubbins in until I fit the shoes. Tie wrap is a good idea, or a laccy band maybe. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
