Title: hand brake adjustment
Post by: jasonm7596 on February 20, 2014, 01:50:57

Hi all this is my first post on here. Im sure this has been covered before but can someone tell me where the handbrake adjustment is located? I have tighted the banksia hand brake shoes at the wheel but the hand brake still doesnt hold on some hills. If anyone could help would be much appreciated.

Hi Jason.
Welcome to the club.
This is interesting. Hopefully someone may have some more definitive advice but I would have thought adjusting the handbrake at the rear wheels should have fixed your problem.
It was always correct to adjust the handbrake at the wheels first then adjust the lever height.
How high (how many notches) does your lever come up?
There is advice on here about how to access the lever adjustment under the console. A search may find it or someone may be able to link you to it.

Link doesn't work here either. Is the pdf file too big to attach to a post Rusty?
