Tightening Soarer Handbrake Wed, 15 December 2004 04:32 Go to next message
I have a drift practise day coming up on saturday and I think it is necessary to tighten the handbrake (for the uber dori preapex action Rolling Eyes) as it has become as loose as a call girls muff Rolling Eyes

I have never had to tighten a handbrake before and it is new territory for me, I was wondering if anyone had done it in thier soarer or any car for that matter, and if they could instruct me on how to do it that would be fantastic.

Before you state the magical S word, yes I already did it Smile

Cheers in advance

its in the rear brakes it has discs and drums in the rear(kinda anyway) u need to get the rear wheel off and the discs as well i think , and then u will see the drum brake arrangment for the handbrake then its just like tightening the drum brakes on any old model car, i think its just a little screw arrangment

sorry i cant help any more as thats what i vaugely remember what the brakes guys did to my car when they were fitting new brake pads i told them to adjust the handbrake as well

cheers

I cant remember exactly, but I think there is an adjustment under the centre console at the handbrake. Don't quote me on that!Smile

The adjustment is on each side of the hub. Take the wheels off and you will see a small rubber gromet on the face of the hub / rotor assembly ,take it out. Get the hole at the middle bottom by spinning the wheel, use a light and youll see a toothed cog wheel. use a screw driver to adjust it vertically down and up. Down tightens it from memory, easiest way is to put the handbrake on about 90% and then adjust both sides tight.
