Title: Handbrake won't click or stay up after rear brake service
Post by: CJ1980 on February 27, 2021, 16:43:17

Hi guys just took my rear pads of as they were sticking a bit so I gave them on both sides a bit of a clean up and re lube. Now after I freed them up and put the wheels back on ive found that the hand break button won't come out and it won't ratchet up, I've taken it for a drive and the brakes work fine and the hand brake will work. Really weird as I didn't mess with the hand brakes at all?
