Hi guys
I replace all my brake system a couple years ago and everything works good, but always have difficult to adjust my handbrake, my calipers are “remanufactured”
Since many months ago I can’t adjust the handbrake,
I have no leaks, and no problem at all to brake when I pushed the pedal and stop the car.
I unscrew all the system, the “hand brake lever”(fig 8.9 #6), I moved the cables (fig 8.9 #9) to try to get more “tensioning” and readjust the handbrake followed instructions from HAYNES manual, also I follow the procedure from some guys here in the forum to turn the caliper piston (fig 8.5 #16) to adjust the space between the pad and rotor and still have the problem.
I tested the caliper pulling manually the cable and the handbrake shaft (fig 8.5 #9) I pressed manually and doesn’t brake, I think the Pawl (fig 8.5#10) is missing or damage. Just on one side brakes the wheel but just a little bit.
What do you think?
Thanks on advance..
