Handbrake Adjustment

Although the cast had just passed its mot the handbrake wouldn’t hold on the slight slope of my driveway. It seems quite a straight forward job you just need access under the floor. This means jacking up the rear of the car to allow rear wheels to turn to adjust the handbrake.

It’s just a matter of tightening the nut in the photo so on the 3rd click of the handbrake lever the rear wheels are locked. At some time in the future I will do a proper job and dismantle the rear hubs etc.

Whilst down there I took the opportunity of dabbing waxoyl on bits where the undersell had chipped off.
