[QUOTE="strutt, post: 333258, member: 13433"] Hi, just doing a few jobs on my van, was busy adjusting the handbrake and noticed the drivers side wasn't working correctly? (wouldnt tighten down enough) i took the drum off and found that the brake cylinder had a small drip (not sure why this has only happend now as i havent been using the van???) got up to the garage tonight to find a puddle of brake fluid under the van, :roll: so i have clamped the line and am hoping to change the cyclinder ASAP, however i have a coule of quesitons, 1) any tips for changing this? 2) I read somewhere that both sides should be changed in pairs? 3) as brake fluid has got onto the shoes will these need replacing? 4) would the adjustment of the handbrake affect the cylinder in any way, ie causing it to fail or not adjust properly cheers Luke [/QUOTE]
