handbrake on 410 it was a seized cable

[dazerede]

Wright guys trying to adjust my handbrake

but when I adjust it with handbrake off I adjust it until the pads just bite the drum and then I put handbrake on it doesn't do nothing and stays the same

Also how the fuck do u undo this fucking bolt on the t-box
because it is me off as I want to book it for a mot

I was recently told there is a rubber bung at the back of the drum, remove it and you should be able to adjust it up with a screw driver

I have been adjusting it using this hole but its still not working

Perhaps it need new pads I'm not sure all I want to do is undo the big 27mm nut so I can look in side but I can't undo it

Easyer to undo. On the car. But now its off id use some wd40 and a big breaker
Bar. Maybe a little heat.

Is the cable ok? A couple of mots back mine wouldn't work even after adjustment, so got new shoes striped it shoes were still good turned out cable had seized. The nut , I wedged a bar between two of the bolts turned until bar hit chassis and undone big nut

It's still on the car this is my spare 410 t-box as it shows a better pic of it

Going to let my dad have a go at it to see if he can work it out

I got my impact driver on it mate

[dazerede]

Havnent tried the cable yet
how can I do this ?

I tried undoing the nut this way but nothing happened except I hurt my hand

Just put some wd 40 on the nut
I don't have a impact driver tempted to drive it 2 miles and borrow my bosses workshop as he has all sorts of tools plus a 2 post car ramp

there is a little notch in the shaft the nut screws onto, and the nut has a little ding punched in it to prevent it from coming loose when in action. you will have to bend this back to be able to undo the nut, the easiest is to get a flat screwdriver that fits nicely in the groove on the shaft, and wack it in with a hammer to straighten the ding in the nut, hope this helps, else I will take a pic after work of my t box on the bench to show you
