Good instructions mate for a quick tighten, worth noting there is a more effective/proper way to adjust gen 3 and 4 handbrake.
Need to jack up the entire rear of the vehicle, put on jack stands for safety :) chock front wheels and take out of gear and release the handbrake. Loosen off the adjuster under the console.
There is an adjuster on either side of the vehicle, accessed from the bottom of the hub assembly, wheels may need to come off to assist in accessing.
Tightening up both sides evenly, testing the number of clicks now and then to check. 5-7 clicks is what the Mitsubishi service guide says is the desired number of clicks.
You can then use the front adjuster under the console for your next adjustment when required, as it has now been loosened off a bit.
Some things to note. The Pajero uses drum/shoe style for the handbrake, and disks for pedal brake. Due to this, crud/rust/etc can build up inside the rotor where the shoes clamp to stop the vehicle moving when the handbrake is applied. This build up can decrease the efficiency of the hand brake. An old trick to help keep drums and shoes free of build up is to occasionally apply the handbrake lightly when driving along at around 40kmph.
If the shoes are getting worn/low, that would also mean the handbrake adjuster needs tightening, if overtightened it will stretch the cable also, so be careful not to over do it. The rear will have a set of pads and a set of shoes each side.
Edit: great tip about applying the hand brake on an auto or CVT vehicle before putting it in park, takes the stress off the transmission when parked on a hill. I do this in my wife's car always, not as important in a manual though.
Thanks a lot for this info mate it certainly is the proper way to do it💯 I have pinned it so other people can see this as well thanks for your input I appreciate it and sure others will do too🙂🙌🏼
Yeah I need to get around to doing this since the tightener in the cab ain’t doing the trick, just been too bloody lazy haha
@@tongyspaj I need to do mine too. Waiting until I install my new rotors and pads though.
Mate,cheers for the awsome tutorial.Was short & sweet & had my hand break back to operating like a treat.
Thanks mate.
Awesome Travis glad I could help💯😜
Awesome! I've got a mean video idea which I havent seen around but I've seen the process suggested a tonne.
The left rear hub nut apparently come loose on these - causing some shudder/clunking through the driveline etc.
You have to jack it up and get someone to hold the brakes, and then tighten it to spec with a torque wrench OR absolutely hang off it - needs to be TIGHT.
Would be sick to see a how to video for this!
Cheers,
Alwyn
Haha cheers Alwyn. My dad used to do it all the time on his paj😄 He used a moerse lang pyp and put all his weight on it to make it tight💯 but unfortunately happens again after a few months haha
Wonderful and Helpful Video Mate!
You're welcome😊💯 Thanks for the support 🙌🏼
@@budget4x4life Your Welcome 🤗
Have tried this before, it worked for awhile but now it’s worse than it was before, virtually zero handbrake. Not sure now if I need new pads or adjustment at the rear drums.
@@sfcralogan Id go for adjustment in the rear if it requires a lot of adjustment. Check your pads and drums. It might need a clean out 💯
Great wee video mate. Got a question for you, does the swb model have a headlight height leveling sensor on the back passenger side just at the upper suspension arm if so have you got a picture and the length of the connector bar as on my LWB model my connecting is missing and looking for a measurement for it. TIA

Hey boet: have you ever considered installing interior foot well lights that have the option to change colours? This is very cool
Hey Leon😎
Haha I had it in two of my cars now and it was cool. Especially when you sync it with the music 😄
Think I got a bit over it now and want the Paj to look clean on the inside. However the video dropping today will be the same thing but for the outside 🤣

Hey man, love your videos, I've got an 08 ns paj and when I shift from P to R/D I get a very small thud similar to one at 3:50. Is this a diff bush related thing?
Thanks matey 😊 mmm could be. Just check your bushes. Is it on hills only or on even ground? If it's on hill it could be because your hand brake is mot holding it in one place. On even ground I reckon bushes or could just be that gearbox connects to driveshaft when you go to D💯
@@budget4x4life Regardless of where the car is I hear it. I've been told bushes could be the culprit but if they're all good it may just be the driveshaft connecting, good shout. Cheers :)
@@hgoods0193 no worries mate. Grap a ply bar and check bushes😄💯
