Handbrake Loose After Rear Pad Change

gti_si · 11-18-2004, 11:55 AM

Hi,

just changed rear pads on my 80Q and for some reason the handbrake pulls right to the top and still has next to no grip.

Any ideas?

Cheers

What did the rotors look like were they pretty thin? They actually have wear indicators on the outside edge on my 100s. Also you might try adjusting the cable.

You´ve got discbreaks all around.....................?
If so you must adjust the breakpistongs if you turn them they comes nearer the disc
it should be selfadjusting but it takes time - using handbrake and footbraek
