Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey All,

Got an 85 Rocky, have fitted new brakes, machined drums etc and no matter what we do can't get the handbrake to engage properly. Have adjusted it inside drums and at the cable underneath? Any ideas?

Guaranteed, one or both handbrake cable inners are siezed.

Its wrong to adjust it from the cable underneath, have you changed the cable with a new one ?

Not yet, thought I would check on here obviously will need to do that. Thanks Fellas

when you say it wont engage properly, do you mean that it doesnt fully brake? I have the same issue, my driveway is kinda steep and i'm a bit concerned that it one day will roll into my retaining wall.

Yup exactly scares the hell outta me too

Ok have replaced the cable with a newie, still doesn't wanna hold. Any ideas?

Take a look on the Rocky brake system manual

I would suggest to take off the drum and hold up the handbrake to see if the brake pads are moving at all.

did you find the issue? because my hand break is now completely screwed.
