soakes94 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Recently my handbrake has been sticking badly, to the point I stopped using it until I got round to fixing it! So I thought I would order a replacement expander and adjuster and just make it all new and problem free! (Or so I thought!) I went to change the parts and got the old expander out destroying all the retaining clips in the process (waiting on new ones!) but I couldn't get to the top bolt of the adjuster. Managed the bottom one but just couldn't work out how to get to the top. Does anyone have any ideas? Its not that its stuck in, I just cant seem to get a socket or spanner on it!

Disco-Ron Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 You can take the entire plate off with four bolts.... you can then work on it much easier off the vehicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 There should also be no need for new parts. They get dirty and need to be cleaned and lubed every now and then. The parts don't wear out. It is a normal maintenance job that everyone should do. As above, always take the whole thing off and rebuild on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soakes94 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Taking it off should make things so much easier! Never realised you could! (Just wish I had a bench to work on now!) Cheers S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonydrover Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Replace the whole thing with an Xeng handbrake. Used to have the same problems and got sick of taking it off to clean out all the mud. Xeng ones don't need that level of maintenance, and they are much better at doing the job too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
