HI, Im new to this site so not sure on some slang words you use lol (rotor?????)
Straight to the point, put new handbrake cable on passenger side as old one had seized and burnt out my shoes, so I changed the shoes on both sides. Problem I have now is no matter how I adjust the each drum and the h/brake cable at the h/brake the brakes wont hold the car from going backwards, it holds it going forwards but not back. Im not a newbe to this type of car, its my fourth celica, 2nd Gen 6, the best model ever!!! I have a repair Manuel which is american but still very good, I have followed all it says in there with no result.Im no thicko when it comes to cars but this has stumped me and I dont want to through my money towards Mr T who charges far to much lol. PLEASE HELP ME, THANKS ![]() ![]() |

Then either something isn't installed properly, or the shoes you just replaced have way more meat on them than the other side, and they're rendering the other side kinda useless. You should be certain to adjust each wheel individually, meaning don't mirror the adjustment you did to the side w/the new shoes to the side with the older shoes. The older shoe side will probably need more adjusting to compensate for being more worn.
