ObjectiveAway Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 I remember @mk2 saying it is not possible to worn them out. Any brand will work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterstanding Posted April 16 Author Report Share Posted April 16 left rear has a slight binding and is noising when brakes are applied, any suggestions as to what this could be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BioTriffid Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 Need to use the adjuster to slack it off a bit looks like a fish shape on a spring 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 The rivet connecting the handbrake lever to the shoe gets rusty and stiff. Remove it, then add a tiny drop of oil and work it in until it's nice and loose. But dirt inside the drum can build up and cause noise...
