ste91 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I've just replaced the brake shoes in my Starlet because they needed doing and the handbrake wasn't working on the one side (MOT failure) although it was good enough to hold the car on hills etc...The brakes now feel much better but the handbrake isn't working even though it's been adjusted and feels tight to pull it up, it does nothing. Is the handbrake cable fucked? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GlanzaKidB77 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Ive had the exact same problem bout a week ago, mine failed on the rear pass handbrake, the garage tryed to have my pants down and said it was the caliper so i took it to a different 1 and they actually stripped the back and showed me it was my actual cables were seized. Just grab two new rear cables and get them fitted and get a garage to do a free brake test just to make sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
