I was wondering if anybody on here knew how to tighten the e-brake cable, or if it is even adjustable...

i have discs in the back, although last time i checked my brakes they were at ~40% for pads and rotors. A few months ago the handle used to come up to about 2 clicks from all the way up, now i can go all the way to the top with not much force.

QUOTE(6gsillyca @ Aug 2, 2006 - 6:34 PM) [snapback]464510[/snapback] i have discs in the back, They are for the rear foot brakes mate, the handbrake shoes are inside the centre of the rear disc/hub. You need to take off the wheel and rear caliper, then align the hole in the rear disk/hub to 6 oclock and rotate the small star wheel with a flat blade screwdriver so that it winds in the handbrake shoes. I think you move it towards you from top to bottom to wind them in (and opposite to wind them back out again). The pictures on page 11 should help. http://www.celicatech.com/imagearchive/bgb...ke%20system.pdf look at the adjuster piece, there is a small star nut in the centre of that that you need to rotate. the disc/hub will then come off easily. |
