Before adjusting the handbrake lever, remember to first check the calipers under the car, to make sure the levers on the calipers are returning to their "stops" when the handbrake is down. Also check that the levers on the calipers move equally. This is necessary for the automatic adjustment of the handbrake mechanism, which is inside the caliper pistons. This is the same mechanism that is used by VW, AUDI etc. Sometimes the mechanism inside the caliper breaks or seizes, and no amount of tightening the handbrake lever will sort this out. Always check the caliper operation first before adjusting handbrake lever.
if this happens will the handbrake start like " slipping"? Mine sometimes goes past the last ratchet and disengages and the lever comes up super high. Are the stops a plastic cable thing? because OI had it in and the cable and some plastic guides or something the guy said was replaced. he said the plastic broke so at times it doesn't grip or something. alll I now is its still doing as before
Just the job ! Thanks
