[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 589356, member: 20098"] How are you adjusting it? The cables should be slackened off fully and the pads adjusted at the drum end so that they are backed off a click (Bentley suggests 3 clicks but I've always found this to be too much) at the point where they just start to drag. It is important that the pedal is pumped regularly through this process to ensure that the pads are centred and you a getting an accurate idea that the drag point is not because the pads are on the piss. Only then should the handbrake cable be adjusted. From memory, the handbrake is pulled on 7 clicks, and then the cables tightened again until the pads just start to drag. Again, it's worth repeatedly pumping the pedal and re-checking to make sure you're adjusting at the right position. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
