Adjusting The Handbrake?

[NIcad7]

Can anyone tell me how to adjust the hand break?

I have to pull it up real hard on hills or itd roll away?

Do the rear disks have integrated drums for the Hand brake?

Thanks Dudes!

yes it has drums for the hand break - to adjust u need to remove the rear wheels and look for a black plastic grommet in the hub - remove this and u will see thru to the inside of the hub.

from what i remember move the hole to about the 2 or 11 ( edited - apparently its at 6) o clock position and u will see the adjuster, turn this and it will tighten the cable - sorry i cant remember which way to turn the adjuster but it will be obvious once u have turned it a bit and tried the handbrake.

Handbrake is adjusted at the Handbrake........

remove leather cover, you will see 2 nuts, a locknut and an adjuster nut, loosen locknut, adjust other nut till happy, do up adjuster nut...........

re-fit leather cover..................job done

yes thats true mat, it can be done at the handbrake, 2 different ways to do it - at the handbrake is quicker

How do you remove the chrome button?

Release handbrake on flat surface, use wheel chocks then turn anticlockwise?

If so this is bloody tight!! I can't unscrew the button off

I think he means the button you press to release the handbrake. But from what you said, he doesn't need to touch it.... Your description sounded perfectly ok.
